We’re very pleased to launch a short, friendly video for you to share with parents, carers and young children who have questions about the vaccination experience.
We hope this will encourage more families to book appointments with confidence.
Teddy Bear’s Vaccination Adventure has been created to promote a positive vaccination experience for those in North Central London who need childhood immunisations.
Follow Teddy and his young carer as they arrive at a GP practice. They meet the polite and helpful receptionist and get welcomed in by the nurse, who puts them both at ease as she gives Teddy a vaccine. Teddy gets a sticker for being very brave and the video ends with smiles all round.
This should help children and their parents or carers understand what happens during an immunisation appointment, reassuring them about the procedure.
This type of video fills a gap, as there is not much material made for children like this. It tells the story from a child’s point of view and is also suitable for children with additional needs.
The short film was made with input and support from clinicians at GP practices in North Central London, special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) nurses and members of the Primary Care team at North Central London Integrated Care Board.
Please share it with any parents or carers of young children in your personal or professional networks. Thank you.
