Note
- The BCG vaccine to prevent TB (tuberculosis) is no longer routinely given to children. It is now only recommended for children at high risk of the disease (e.g. those living in areas with a high rate of TB or whose parents or grandparents were born in a country where TB is highly prevalent).
- Scares over the MMR vaccination have meant that some parents have not had their children vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella. There have consequently been reported surges in the number of children with measles. If you’re concerned about this vaccination, it’s possible to obtain some of the vaccines individually and privately.
