A series of free vaccination clinics have been set up for local families with children under five. The ‘catch-up’ clinics are aimed at those children whose vaccinations (such as vaccinations for whooping cough, measles, polio, meningitis, or mumps) are not up to date.
Based at a dozen regular venues across the region, the clinics will help provide the protection our community needs against infectious diseases.
The initiative, which runs throughout the summer term and summer holidays, will allow parents to visit a clinic before their children start school or nursery in September.
Sites have been chosen to make it easy for families to drop in, with no booking required.
