Continue to #CarryOnVaccinating

Attending routine vaccination appointments is key to protecting Warwickshire’s pregnant women and children, but during Covid-19 there has been a reported drop in the uptake of pregnancy, infant and pre-school booster vaccination.  

Pregnant women and children are encouraged to attend their routine vaccination appointments to not only protect themselves but also to help stop an outbreak of serious vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles, meningitis and whooping cough.   

Warwickshire GP Lucy Blunt explains the importance of attending routine vaccination appointments and the safety measures put in place in surgeries. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKFSG-bxn_w&feature=youtu.be]
