1. Vaccines are overwhelmingly safe, but it’s important to have them administered by a medical professional who already knows your health history. 

Certain health conditions or medications can make the timing of vaccinations inappropriate, and only your GP with your medical records would know that information.

2. Your GP can keep a better record of your immunizations.

This helps with alerting you as to when your next vaccination is falling due.

3. Your GP surgery is a private environment.

In your GP surgery, you’ll be in a familiar environment that’s private.

4. Your GP surgery can monitor you more effectively after the vaccine

Vaccines are safe, and the vast majority of them produce no reactions at all. At the same time, most GPs will ask you to remain in the office for a few minutes after receiving a vaccine or to stay in the nearby vicinity to make sure you don’t have any unexpected negative reactions. In the rare event that you do have a reaction, you’re in the best place to be treated.
