Pre-School Immunisations Posted or Updated on 18 Sep 2024

We encourage you to check that your child is up to date with their immunisations before they start school in September. If your child is aged between three and five years old, they should be up to date with their immunisations before starting school. These pre-school immunisations (also known as vaccinations) will help protect your child against many serious infections, for example, there is currently a large measles outbreak in London.

Now is a good time to catch up with any of the usual immunisations your child may have missed as a baby or toddler. Just ask your GP practice or clinic about catch-up doses. It is never too late to have your child immunised.
