The Website is in no circumstances a substitute for professional medical advice and you should always take advice from your general practitioner or other healthcare professional in relation to any vaccinations or other healthcare matters.
The Website offers general information only, and does not offer advice tailored to individuals’ specific circumstances. It is important that you consult a medical professional or GP about your own personal circumstances and, where appropriate, those of your family before receiving vaccinations or travelling abroad. You should not ignore or delay in contacting a medical professional or GP because of information accessed through the Website. The Website is in no way trying to influence individuals and families with regard to their personal health decisions. All vaccination information provided on the Website is to complement a fully completed routine childhood vaccination schedule in line with current recommendations for life in Britain. Other countries may have different routine vaccination schedules, or none at all.
All vaccine information on the Website is provided by TRAVAX, however the Website is not in any way related to or regulated by the National Health Service or any other health authority.

You must provide accurate and complete information when you register to use the Website and create (or edit) your MyVaccs Profile, and when you add a family member to your MyVaccs Profile.
