Are you – or are you about to be – a grand-parent? Do you have caring responsibilities? We have tried to set out below the rights and responsibilities you have.

Unless you are a legal Guardian, you don’t have any specific rights as a grand-parent, but if you know what to expect, then you can help your kids as their kids vaccinations come round. 

If you are a foster carer or work in children’s services for a Council, you have a duty to put the interests of the child first . It has been established in law that vaccinations are a public health intervention, which benefits the wider community, as well as the child in care.

Then there are links below to the information on the jabs children are recommended to have.
