Vaccination

We run seasonal and routine vaccination clinics.

Childhood immunisations

One of the most important things that a parent can do for their child is to make sure that they have all their routine childhood vaccinations. It’s the most effective way of keeping them protected against infectious diseases. 

Ideally, children should have their jabs at the right age to protect them as early as possible and minimise the risk of infection. 

Please call the surgery to make an appointment.

Parents or carers wanting more information on the BCG vaccination can call 0208 214 1380 or email vul.london.bcg@nhs.net

Flu immunisation

You can get the free NHS flu vaccine if you:

  • are aged 65 or over
  • have certain long-term health conditions
  • are pregnant
  • live in a care home
  • are the main carer for an older or disabled person, or receive a carer’s allowance
  • live with someone who has a weakened immune system

You do not have to wait for an invitation before booking an appointment.

Pneumococcal vaccine

The pneumococcal vaccine (or ‘pneumo jab’ or pneumonia vaccine as it’s also known) protects against pneumococcal infections.

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.

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.

Babies have a 1st dose at 12 weeks and a booster dose at 1 year.

HPV vaccine services 

We can offer the HPV vaccination to:

  • Girls under 25 and boys born after 1 September 2006 who missed having the vaccine at school
  • As well as any men under 45 who have sex with men, and other people at higher risk of HPV
