Grantham: Children without vaccines survey

Children without vaccines survey

We want to speak to people in Lincolnshire who have chosen for their child age 0-5 to not receive one or more vaccinations.
There are many reasons why people decline vaccines we want to hear them for a project in association with Lincolnshire County Council, Lincolnshire NHSICB and HWLincs.
We’d be grateful if you could direct people to this short survey, which also gives the opportunity for them to have a more in-depth and unjudgmental conversation with an independent charity.

People can visit hwlincs.co.uk/vaccines or call 01205 820892.
