National Immunisation Schedule changes

NEW 12 month vaccination event -

1st Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccine + last Pneumococcal will now be given at 12 months

15mth vaccination event remains and includes 2nd Measles, Mumps & Rubella, ChickenPox and Hiberix.

Starting MMR vaccination at 12mths ensures better protection for your child against Measles outbreaks

The nursing team will recall all 12-14mth olds for this to ensure they do not miss out.

15mth olds who have already had their 15mth vaccinations will be recalled for their 2nd MMR vaccination to ensure all children are fully vaccinated against Measles as close to 15mths as possible

Children younger than 12mths will be recalled for this as per usual recall process.

Please contact the nursing team if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks
