Anti-vaccine stories are often spread online through social media.
They may not be based on scientific evidence and could put your child at risk of a serious illness.
If you would like some more information prior to booking your child in for an appointment, please contact the surgery. We can arrange for a Doctor to call you back and discuss any queries or questions you may have.

protect you and your child from many serious and potentially deadly diseases
protect other people in your community – by helping to stop diseases spreading to people who cannot have vaccines
undergo rigorous safety testing before being introduced – they’re also constantly monitored for side effects after being introduced
sometimes cause mild side effects that will not last long – some children may feel a bit unwell and have a sore arm for 2 or 3 days
reduce or even get rid of some diseases – if enough people are vaccinated
do not cause autism – studies have found no evidence of a link between the MMR vaccine and autism
do not overload or weaken the immune system – it’s safe to give children several vaccines at a time and this reduces the amount of injections they need
do not cause allergies or any other conditions – all the current evidence tells us that vaccinating is safer than not vaccinating
do not contain mercury (thiomersal)
do not contain any ingredients that cause harm in such small amounts – but speak to your doctor if you have any known allergies such as eggs or gelatine
