News: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board

Dear Parent / Carer,

Vaccinate Your Child.

 

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) is running a child vaccination campaign called ‘Vaccinate Your Child ’. The campaign encourages us to make sure our children get their routine vaccinations. This provides the best protection against a range of potentially serious diseases, such as measles, mumps and rubella. Making sure your child is vaccinated is important, but if your child hasn’t received all vaccinations it never too late to catch up.

BCUHB want to reassure parents & carers that strict infection prevention and control measures, including social distancing, are still in place in all healthcare settings. This helps to protect you, your child, and the healthcare staff who administer the vaccinations, from contracting and spreading COVID-19.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call your GP Practice or Health Visitor who will be glad to reassure you before you attend the vaccination appointment.

For more information on the routine childhood vaccinations schedule, including videos and a short film for children, please visit the Health Board’s vaccination webpages: https://bcuhb.nhs.wales/health-advice/immunisations/immunisations/
