Immunisation is a simple, safe and effective way to protect your child against certain diseases. The risks from having these diseases are much greater than the risk of any minor side effects from immunisation.
Your child needs 5 visits to the surgery to be fully vaccinated and the immunisations are administered by one of our practice nurses.
In Ireland, all the recommended immunisations for your child are free We offer all routine childhood vaccinations with our practice nurses as well as other vaccinations on request such as Chicken Pox.
