Immunisation is one of the most important weapons for protecting individuals and the community from serious diseases. The Department's immunisation team supports the public and health professionals by offering clear, evidence-based information about different diseases, the possible side effects of immunisation and available vaccines. This information can be accessed from the two websites on the right hand side of this page, immunisation.nhs.uk and mmrthefacts.nhs.uk.
Key documents for about immunisation for health professionals, including the Green Book (an updated guide to all aspects of immunisation) and the Yellow Book (about immunisations required for foreign travel).
