Can I take my child to the GP for their vaccination?
Generally all school aged vaccinations are provided by the school immunisation team. The GP’s can vaccinate in certain circumstances, but usually only if the child has missed their vaccinations after the school year it was due.
Occasionally, the team may request that vaccinations are given by the GP if it is thought to be more suitable.
