Children's Immunisations
Immunisations are performed at the Surgery, by one of the Practice Nurses. The Health Authority will send you a letter when your child’s immunisations are due. Please telephone the Surgery to arrange an appointment.

If you have any queries about your child's immunisation status, please don’t hesitate to give us a call and a Nurse will check for you.
