The London Polio Booster campaign is for all children who live in London aged 1 to 9 years old. However, please note that at East London Vaccination Centre, we are only able to offer the booster to children aged 3 years and 4 months to 9 years old (up to the day before their 10th birthday). If your child is under 3 years and 4 months years old, please contact your GP surgery to arrange their polio booster instead.

Your child should have already received all of their primary polio vaccinations as per the NHS Childhood Immunisations Programme. If your child has had their pre-school booster (usually given aged 3yrs 4m old) within the last 12 months, they do not need another dose.

If you don’t think your child is otherwise up to date with their vaccines, please contact your GP surgery to arrange catch up vaccinations (and this will also cover the polio booster if required).

Please note because our waiting area is very small we would kindly request that only 1 parent / guardian attend per family. 

We also request that you do not attend early for your appointment, if you arrive earlier than 10 minutes before your appointment time you will be asked to leave and return at your allocated time. 

Please bring with you your child's RED BOOK, if you do not have this please ensure that you have your child's NHS number when you attend your appointment. 

Unfortunately we do not have any toilet facilities within our clinic. There are patient toilets available in the main hospital.
