We offer motivational, educational and positive content through our social media channels, which adds to our value for the parents who need our help the most.

PANDAS Foundation values difference and diversity and does not discriminate on the grounds of age, gender, sexual preference, orientation, marital status, race, religion, colour, national origin, disability, heritage or political belief.

Getting vaccinated is a normal part of growing up in the UK. It is one of many things people do to protect their children from serious diseases like meningitis, polio, measles, mumps and rubella.

The decision to vaccinate your children is yours and it’s natural to have questions about whether it is the right thing for you and your family. Here you can find all the information you need about the vaccines your child can get at every stage of their life, why they are important, and the vaccines you can have while you are pregnant.

You can also find advice from local experts, download free resources, find information on where and how to book, and hear personal stories from local people like you.
