The website also states there is support for emergencies related to adverse reactions to vaccinations, with an arranged out-of-hours service provider. ## Services - **Vaccinations** - **Microchipping** - **Emergency arrangements (as stated):** the clinic provides some emergency services for **adverse reactions to vaccinations**, and directs owners to a **dedicated out-of-hours service provider** outside clinic opening times.
