Measles cases are rising in London

Please make sure your child is up to date with their vaccinations and book an appointment at the surgery to catch up on missed doses. Two doses of the MMR vaccine can provide lifelong protection against measles.

Measles is more than just a rash. 1 in 5 children with measles will need hospital treatment. It can cause serious complications and in rare cases can be fatal. 

If you are unsure if you or your child are up to date with your vaccinations, please contact the practice.

Vaccinations

Flu and pneumonia vaccination

Each year a programme of influenza vaccination is carried out at the medical centre and it is strongly recommended that patients at greatest risk i.e. over 65 years of age, diabetics, asthmatics and those with a history of heart disease take advantage of this vaccination. Patients should contact the surgery every September to make an appointment.

Childhood immunisations

Each vaccine is given as a single injection into the muscle of the thigh or upper arm. For your personalised vaccine schedule please visit the NHS: Vaccination schedule.

Travel advice/ immunisation

Please book an appointment with the travel nurse at least six weeks prior to departure, as some immunisations need to be given in advance to provide optimum cover. Prior to your appointment please submit a travel risk assessment. Please note that not all travel vaccines are free, so you may be required to pay a charge. It is advisable to bring cash or a cheque book with you to your appointment. Please note that the practice is unable to accept credit cards.
