Families Encouraged to Check Vaccination Records This Easter Holiday
This Easter holidays, Liverpool families are encouraged to take a quick moment to check if their loved ones are up to date with their routine vaccinations to protect them from nasty infectious diseases.
Liverpool’s GP practices and school immunisation teams remain on hand to support families with catch-up vaccines throughout the holiday period.
Whether your child missed something during term time or you’re an adult making sure your own vaccinations are up to date, there’s plenty of help available.
The process of staying protected is designed to be as straightforward as possible for residents across the region.

By reaching out to these dedicated professionals, families can ensure that any gaps in protection are filled before the new school term begins.

GP Practices offer another vital route for health maintenance.

GP teams can confirm which vaccines are due, explain the schedule for each age group, and offer advice if you’re unsure about anything.
They can also update your records and arrange appointments at a time that suits your family, ensuring that health remains a priority even during the busy holiday season.
