We missed our baby's 12-month vaccinations — can they get them all at their next appointment?

Close up of calluses. Problem skin on the steps of a teenager
Dr Phil Kieran: My gym-going teenager has blisters on his feet

Sore Throat - Boy holding his neck in pain
Dr Phil Kieran: Should my son get his tonsils taken out?
