Vaccinations
Childhood Vaccinations
Immunisation is a safe, simple way of protecting babies and children against certain diseases. The risks from having these diseases are far greater than the risk of any minor side effects from immunisation. The primary childhood vaccinations start at 2 months old and include 5 visits until the child is 13 months old.
HPV Vaccination
HPV vaccination is offered in secondary school to all students. All vaccines given in the school's immunisation programme are free. The following link answers commonly asked questions including information about catch up
Vaccinations During Pregnancy

The influenza vaccination can be given at any stage during pregnancy. It can prevent you from getting flu and passing it on to your baby as well protecting your baby after birth.
The whooping cough (pertussis) vaccination is given between 16 and 36 weeks gestation. The whooping cough is highly contagious and dangerous for newborns. Complications include pneumonia and brain damage.
