Summer Catch-up Vaccination Programme
Has your son or daughter missed any of their routine immunisations at their GP or in School?
Over the summer holidays, Merseycare's School Immunisation Team will be hosting a series of weekly catch-up clinics offering children and young people in Liverpool, Sr Helen's, Sefton and Knowsley any childhood and school immunisations they may have missed.
These catch up clinics will be held at various locations, please visit web page for more information
www.merseycare.nhs.uk/our-services/liverpool/vaccination-and-immunisation
All routine childhood immunisations will be available at these catch up clinics
The clinics will be offered on a drop-in basis – no appointment is needed, and children will be seen on a first come, first served basis.
Nikki Wilinski, Operational Manager for School Aged Immunisations at Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust said:
“It’s vital that childhood vaccines are given on time as this provides your child with the best possible protection against diseases – but it’s never too late to catch up and ensure your child is protected especially now as we are seeing increasing cases of children with Measles and Whopping Cough.”
The summer holidays are an ideal time for parents / carers to catch up any missed immunisations and ensure your child is fully protected before they return to school in September.”
