August is National Immunisation Awareness Month, a great opportunity to learn more about the vaccines that help protect children from serious illnesses 💉💙

Vaccinations are one of the most effective ways to protect against infectious diseases and help keep our communities healthy 👍

The MMRV vaccine protects children against four illnesses:
• Measles
• Mumps
• Rubella
• Varicella (chickenpox) 👶

These illnesses can sometimes lead to serious complications, including pneumonia, meningitis and other health problems ⚠️

The MMRV vaccine is offered as part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme and helps provide important protection during early childhood 💙

Making sure your child receives their vaccinations on time helps protect them and those around them 🛡️

If you're unsure whether your child is up to date with their vaccinations, speak to your GP practice for advice 👍

Are you getting enough sleep? 😴💙

Sleep debt builds up when you regularly miss out on the amount of sleep your body needs. Even losing a small amount of sleep over time can affect your mood, concentration, energy levels and overall health ⚠️

Poor sleep can also increase your risk of health problems including stress, anxiety, high blood pressure and weight gain 🛌

The Patient Info Sleep Debt Calculator can help you understand how much sleep you may be missing and encourage healthier sleep habits 👍

Good sleep habits can include:
• keeping a regular sleep routine
• reducing screen time before bed
• avoiding caffeine late in the day
• creating a calm sleep environment 🌙
