Vaccinations

Walk-ins are currently available:

Whooping Cough - Whooping cough is a very serious infection, and young babies are the most at risk. Most babies with whooping cough will be admitted to hospital. The vaccine in pregnancy helps your body produce antibodies to protect against whooping cough. These antibodies pass to your baby, giving them some protection until they're able to have their whooping cough vaccination at 8 weeks old.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) - RSV is a common virus which can cause a lung infection called bronchiolitis. In small babies this condition can make it hard to breathe and to feed, and intensive cases some babies may need intensive care and the infection can be fatal. The RSV vaccine is now being offered nationally in pregnancy to protect your baby from birth, this immunity lasts up to 6 months old.

Flu - You have a higher chance of having flu when you are pregnant, the effects can be worse and you are more likely to be admitted to hospital. Flu may cause your baby to be born prematurely or have a low birthweight. Having the vaccine means you are less likely to get flu, protecting both you and your baby.

To book a vaccine appointment, speak to your Midwife or call Antenatal Appointments on 0207 288 5586.
