Health experts in Bradford are strongly advising that you make and keep your children’s immunisation appointments as planned.
A new guide, available online, for parents and carers of young children is reinforcing the message that it is important to make sure your children are up-to-date with their vaccinations.
Protecting your children from a number of potentially serious illnesses means they are more likely to remain healthy and reduce pressures on NHS services.

Domestic abuse and sexual violence is never acceptable and there are no excuses for this behaviour.
The challenge of lockdown means families are spending more time indoors together, this may make it more difficult to speak out or access support.
The loosing of restriction may give those affected an opportunity to access support. More information is available on our website.

The elderly, those with chronic illnesses and young children can be at risk of being affected by the hot temperatures.
It is more important during the coronavirus pandemic to make sure friends, relatives and neighbours are coping with the weather.
Ensure that they are well protected by staying in the shade, using sun cream and drinking plenty of fluids.

Health and care services are #StillHereToHelp over the bank holiday. Many pharmacies will be open on Monday 25 May, as well as over the bank holiday weekend for advice.
Pharmacists are experts in medicines and they can help with minor health concerns such as headaches, hay fever and sickness. As qualified healthcare professionals, they can give you clinical advice, suggest which medicines would be best to help, as well as let you know where you can go if you do need to see a different health professional such as a GP.
You do not need an appointment to get advice from a pharmacy and people can still ask for advice during the coronavirus pandemic.
Opening times and contact information for all pharmacies can be found on the NHS website or on the NHS Bradford Distict and Craven CCG website.

Evidence so far suggests people who smoke may be at increased risk of severe disease if they get Covid-19.
We know two thirds of smokers want to make a quit attempt to improve their health and you can get bespoke support from our stop smoking service.
