At Prince of Wales Surgery, we are committed to protecting your child’s health through safe and effective vaccinations. Immunisations help prevent serious illnesses such as measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough, polio, and meningitis, keeping your child and the wider community healthy.

What vaccinations are offered

We provide routine childhood vaccinations recommended by the UK NHS immunisation schedule, including:

• 6-in-1 vaccine – protects against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, Haemophilus influenzae type b, and hepatitis B

• MMRV vaccine – protects against measles, mumps, and rubella

• MenB vaccine – protect against meningococcal infections

• Rotavirus and Pneumococcal vaccines – help prevent serious infections in babies

Your child’s vaccination schedule will depend on their age and previous immunisations. Our team will guide you on what is due and when.
