The Vaccination and Immunisation service exists to ensure the safe and effective delivery of all vaccine programmes within Sefton, and to maintain standards of clinical excellence.

There are a variety of vaccinations that need to be given at specific points during childhood, in order to protect against disease in later life.

There are also recommended vaccines for adults of certain ages or for those who suffer from chronic disease.

Some vaccinations will be delivered via the Health Visitor/Family Health Nurse, Practice Nurse (in Sefton) and others by School Nurses e.g.

  • All baby and toddler vaccines
  • Pre-school boosters
  • Adolescent boosters, Diphtheria, Tetanus ,Polio and Meningitis C vaccines
  • Human Papilloma Virus vaccine for Year 8 girls
  • Catch up programmes for children who have missed some vaccines.
  • Vaccination sessions will be held at a variety of clinics, children’s centres and GP surgeries throughout Liverpool and Sefton.
  • Adult vaccination services and times can be accessed by phoning the GP surgery.
  • Childhood Immunisation clinics are often discussed during an appointment with the Health Visitor and the nearest clinic and times may be written in the child’s red book or entered in the child’s eRedbook.
