How to protect you and your baby

As you may have seen in the media the Department of Health (DOH) are now recommending that all pregnant women receive a whooping cough vaccination.

The ideal time to have this vaccination is between weeks 20 and 38 of your pregnancy, but it can be given up until you give birth.

The DoH have decided that due to a rapid rise in whooping cough, being vaccinated in your pregnancy can help to protect your/baby, before they start their routine childhood vaccinations, as you will pass some immunity on to them.

If you have any queries or concerns, please speak to your midwife, your registered doctor or a member of our practice nurse Team.

If you would like to have this vaccination please phone the reception Team on 01420 542542 and book in to see one of our practice nurses. If you wish to decline this vaccination please can you e-mail nhccg.chawtonparksurgery@nhs.net or phone the practice and let us know so we are able to update your records accordingly.

For further information please see this Whooping Cough Patient Leaflet or on the NHS Choices website or your Midwife/Practice Nurse would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Who can have the shingles vaccination?

You're eligible for the shingles vaccine if you are aged 70 to 79.

The shingles vaccine is not available on the NHS to anyone aged 80 or over because it seems to be less effective in this age group.

Find out more about who can have the shingles vaccine.

What is the brand name of the shingles vaccine?

There are 2 shingles vaccines used in the UK:

• Zostavax, a live vaccine given as 1 dose
• Shingrix, a non-live vaccine given as 2 doses, 2 months apart

Most people will have the Zostavax vaccine. The Shingrix vaccine is recommended if Zostavax is not suitable for you, for example if you have a condition that affects your immune system.
