The UK’s Childhood Immunisation Programme is a vital public health service designed to protect children from serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. Starting from 8 weeks of age, children are offered a series of free vaccinations through the NHS, including protection against diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, polio, diphtheria, whooping cough, meningitis, and more. These vaccines are safe, thoroughly tested, and provided according to a nationally recommended schedule. By ensuring your child is fully vaccinated, you not only safeguard their health but also help protect the wider community through herd immunity.
