2,3 and 4 months old

Around 2 months old you will be asked to bring your child in for their first DTaP/IPV/Hib injection against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio and Hib. The pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) will also be offered for the first time at 2 months.

At 3 and 4 months of age you will be asked to return for a second dose and then a booster of DTaP/IPV/Hib. They will also be offered the meningitis C vaccine at the same time. Additionally the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) will also be offered again at this time.

12 and 13 months

Your child will be offered a vaccination that provides the final booster dose for protection against two diseases, Haemophilis influenzae type b (Hib) and meningitis C. It is given in a single injection.

Just after your baby’s first birthday, they will be offered their first dose of the triple MMR vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella. This is given as a single injection. At this time they will also be given a third final dose of PCV which further boosts their protection against pneumococcal infection.

3 yrs and 4 months or soon after

Your child will be asked to return and offered the dTaP/IPV or DTaP/IPV vaccines which protect against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough) and polio. This is given as a single injection.

At this time they will also be offered a second dose of MMR against measles, mumps and rubella, which is also given as a single injection.

Girls aged 12 to 13

At this age girls will be offered the HPV vaccine to protect against cervical cancer, either in school or by their GP. The vaccine protects against the two strains of the HPV virus in around 70% of women. (HPV vaccine does not protect against all cervical cancers)

13 to 18 year olds

13-18 year olds are offered Td/IPV at school or in some cases by their GP. It is given as a single injection in the arm and protects against diphtheria, tetanus and polio.
