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.

You can check your family’s vaccination records through your GP and book any catchup or routine appointments.

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.
