    E184. What every parent should know about vaccines for their child

    What every parent should know about vaccines for their child. With Lisa Broome As a parent, one of your primary wishes is to keep your child well and healthy, its inbuilt in us as parents to try and achieve this and protect our little ones. That’s perhaps why 57% of parents surveyed by One Poll for the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said having a sick child is the most stressful aspect of family life, significantly higher than stressors like welcoming a new baby into the family (15%).   The poll also found that nearly half of parents surveyed (49%) reported having to miss work due to their child being ill. For many, this disruption is also a frequent occurrence. Over 1 in 5 parents (23%) surveyed state their child is unwell once every few months whilst 12% experience their child being ill multiple times in a month. Most common coughs or colds can be mild and difficult to avoid. But more serious infections that can cause serious illness, hospitalisation and lifelong disabilities are rising too, and it’s a good time to be thinking about how we protect babies and young children from these diseases with vaccination.   Health officials from the UK Health Security Agency are urging parents to check their children’s vaccinations are up to date, amid fears of a ‘back to school surge’ of diseases like measles and whooping cough due to falling vaccine uptake rates.   To give your child the best protection from these illnesses, it's important that their vaccines are up to date. Vaccines prevent over 5,000 deaths and over 100,000 hospital admissions each year in England, if your child isn’t vaccinated, they’re not protected. But there is a lot of misinformation and a lack of knowledge for parents around vaccinations.    This week I am joined by a vaccination guru and registered nurse, Lisa Broome. Lisa has joined us to answer some of the most common questions and concerns parents have around vaccinations and the advice/tips she gives to help them navigate child immunisations and sometimes the fear of the unknown for some parents.
