Vaccines are a crucial part of our defence against infectious diseases. Did you know:
- Vaccines reduce the spread of infectious disease and even get rid of some completely.
- When enough people get vaccinated, it’s harder for a disease to spread to those who can’t have vaccines.
- Getting vaccinated protects not only you but also your family, friends and community.
- Vaccines are made to prevent people from getting serious infectious diseases. It’s much safer for your immune system to learn to fight illness through vaccination than by catching and treating them.
COVID-19 vaccination
We’re coordinating the COVID-19 vaccination programme in South West London. Vaccination will give you the best protection against COVID-19.
The vaccines are safe and effective, but if you are unsure speak to your GP or local pharmacist. You can also call 119 for free to talk with someone.

Other available vaccines
You and your family may be entitled to a range of immunisations that will help keep you healthy. Vaccines are rigorously tested and are the best line of defence against disease.
