Whether to get your child vaccinated or not… it can feel like such a responsibility to make for our children, but being informed can really help with making this decision.

When seeking vaccine and health information always go to a trusted source, such as the NHS or the World Health Organisation (WHO)

All research, according to the NHS tells us that getting vaccinated is safer than not getting vaccinated.

Why vaccines are important: (NHS information)

• Since introduced cases of some diseases have reduced to a very low number, such as diphtheria.
• Some diseases that used to disable or kill, like polio and tetanus are now very rarely seen. They prevent millions of deaths worldwide every year.
