n conjunction with the health visitors and practice nurses, we aim to ensure the well being of children up to the age of 5 years. The doctor will carry out the “6 week check” in the surgery and the health visitor will monitor further development. Please feel free to discuss any worries or queries relating to childhood vaccinations. We currently encourage all parents to ensure their children are fully immunised including MMR.
Almost all scientists worldwide agree now that there is NO PROVEN LINK between the MMR vaccination and Autism. Leaving your child vulnerable to measles however could be leaving them exposed to deafness, blindness, brain damage and even death
