Childhood immunisations
It is likely that due to COVID-19 many babies and children in Hackney (and nationwide) may have missed out on having the recommended immunisations. Please remind all parents to check their child’s immunisation status prior to starting/restarting childcare.
The message below is from the local GP service and relates to pre-school vaccinations:
“We want to reassure parents that all GP surgeries in City and Hackney are open, safe and available for all of our patients. Getting your child vaccinated on time is really important in keeping all children safe and protected.
Please contact your GP surgery to ensure your child is up to date with their vaccinations before they start school”.
