Childhood Immunisation
To give your child the best protection, it’s important that vaccines are given on time. We will send you a text message when your child is due for routine vaccinations.
It is important you maintain correct contact details (ideally a mobile phone and email address) so we can contact you when immunisations are due. Please contact us if you need to update your contact details.
If you think you have missed an appointment for immunisations then please contact us for an appointment with our Nurse on 0203 405 6570.
If you have received your immunisations elsewhere (in another country or privately) then please let us know, ideally by providing proof of the vaccination, so we can update our records.

Pneumococcal Vaccine
Who should have the pneumococcal vaccine?
A pneumococcal infection can affect anyone. However, some people need the pneumococcal vaccination because they are at higher risk of complications. These include:
- all children under the age of two
- adults aged 65 or over
- children and adults with certain long-term health conditions, such as a serious heart or kidney condition
Read more about who should have the pneumo jab.
How often is the pneumococcal vaccine given?
Babies receive the pneumococcal vaccine as three separate injections, at 2 months, 4 months and 12-13 months.
People over-65 only need a single pneumococcal vaccination which will protect for life. It is not given annually like the flu jab.
People with a long term health condition may need just a single one-off pneumococcal vaccination or five-yearly vaccination depending on their underlying health problem.
