This Practice will accept written advice from a paediatrician (child specialist) not to immunise a child for any specific medical reason but will not accept other reasons for refusing immunisation. Parents who disagree with our immunisation policy may prefer not to register with this practice. Children’s immunisation is not simply a matter of ‘Parental Choice’ but very much more importantly, it is considering the health & well being of the child first & foremost. There is nothing better than preventing illness & we are deeply committed to our policy of prevention.
