Childhood Vaccinations (Free)
We realise that while keeping your children safe from major illnesses is crucial, ‘jabs’ can sometimes be an unpleasant part of childhood. That is why we try to administer vaccinations with minimal upset to your child, in a calm and soothing manner. Experienced nurses administer vaccines to children in a friendly calm environment which gives reassurance to both parent and child.
