Private paediatric immunisations & vaccinations

Protecting your child against preventable disease is one of the most important health decisions you’ll make. At Mayfield Clinic Oxford, Consultant Paediatrician Dr Nicholas Richens provides clear, evidence‑based guidance on the UK childhood schedule, tailored catch‑up plans, and safe travel vaccinations for children and teens.

We review your child’s history, check what’s due, and plan any catch‑ups without restarting courses unnecessarily. Where appropriate, we can offer protection against conditions such as measles (MMR), whooping cough, diphtheria, tetanus and polio (DTaP/IPV), Hib, hepatitis B, pneumococcus, meningococcus, HPV, rotavirus and seasonal influenza. We can also discuss optional private vaccines such as chickenpox (varicella). For travel, we advise on risks by destination and itinerary, and arrange suitable immunisations (for example hepatitis A, typhoid and rabies), coordinating with accredited centres when a specialised vaccine or certificate is required.

• Childhood schedule reviews and reminders
• Practical catch‑up schedules after missed or overseas doses
