Vaccinations for babies and young children
The NHS offers a national vaccination programme for all children. In Portsmouth, most vaccines are given at your GP surgery.
These vaccines protect against:
- Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR)
- Polio
- Tetanus
- Diphtheria
- Meningitis
- And other serious illnesses
You’ll get reminders from your GP or the child health department when it’s time for your child’s vaccines.
If you think your child has missed a vaccine or you haven’t received a letter, contact your GP surgery.
You can check the full schedule on the NHS vaccination programme website.
