If children are not fully vaccinated they are at risk of catching diseases like measles which can spread very quickly in schools. If your child is missing any any immunisations, please contact their GP practice.
Now your child is at school it is an ideal opportunity for you to check that they have had all the immunisations they were due. Please make sure they have received their Preschool Booster to top up their level of antibodies which their bodies produce to fight off disease and infection. The preschool booster is 2 injections: the 4 in 1 for tetanus, diphtheria, polio & whooping cough & the 2nd dose of measles, mumps & rubella (MMR).
