  • Childhood immunisation disclaimer

    1. I / We acknowledge that all children can be exposed to disease that can have serious, if not fatal consequences; for example, Measles, Mumps, Meningitis and Polio. The only way to protect children is by immunisation; this will also help to protect other people with whom the child may come into contact, such as those with weakened immune systems, newborn babies or the elderly.
    2. I / We also acknowledge that immunisation is the safest and best defence against epidemics that can kill or disable both adults and children. I / We understand that vaccines work by making the body produce antibodies which are used to fight diseases without infecting the person with the disease.
    3. I / we would like to advise the practice that I / we do not wish for my / our child to participate in the NHS childhood immunisation schedule.
    4. I / We assume full responsibility for my / our decision and confirm that I / we have read and understand the above statement about the associated risks and benefits and the importance of childhood immunisations in reducing the risk of my / our child contracting serious, potentially fatal diseases. Please do not send me / us any further invitations for childhood immunisations.
    5. I / We understand that my / our child can be restored to the vaccination schedule at any time by contacting the practice.
