Children are particularly vulnerable to winter illnesses. The
‘Keep your child well this winter’ guide
is a useful resource for parents to help them manage the season
of runny noses, fevers, and germs, and is packed full of advice from the
One Bromley Partnership.
Childhood infections like measles and whooping cough are rising. Parents
are urged to help protect their children by ensuring they are up to date
with their free measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, and all other
routine childhood immunisations
. These vaccinations are crucial in protecting children against preventable
diseases.
It is never too late to catch up; speak to your child’s GP if you
are unsure or check the NHS
childhood vaccines timeline
.
