What if my child has already received this vaccination elsewhere?
In some cases, your child may have already received some of the vaccines we deliver as part of the programme. For example, the Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio vaccine can be given by a GP or in Accident and Emergency following an injury like an animal bite and the Meningitis vaccine may have been given as a travel vaccine.
Please check if your child has had these vaccines over the age of 10 years, and let us know if they have.
