Important Update: Changes to the NHS Childhood Vaccination Schedule 💉

From 1st July 2025, the NHS will be updating the childhood vaccination schedule to help protect children earlier and more effectively. A new appointment will be introduced at 18 months, starting 1st January 2026.

👶 These changes affect key vaccines like MMR, MenB, PCV, and Hib/MenC, and will apply to children born from 1st July 2024 onwards.

📣 What’s changing?
✅ MenB vaccine will now be given at 12 weeks instead of 16
✅ PCV will move to 16 weeks
✅ The Hib/MenC vaccine at 12 months will be replaced by a Hib-containing vaccine at 18 months
✅ MMR second dose will be given earlier, at 18 months
✅ MenC will no longer be needed in the second year of life – protection will be provided through the MenACWY programme in Year 9

💉 From 2026, there will be six routine vaccine appointments:
➡️ 8 weeks
➡️ 12 weeks
➡️ 16 weeks
➡️ 1 year
➡️ 18 months
➡️ 3 years 4 months

Vaccinations are one of the most effective ways to protect children from serious illness. If you're unsure whether your child is up to date, speak to the surgery.

Measles cases are rising in England.

It spreads easily and can cause serious illness, especially in babies, pregnant women and those with weak immune systems.

MMR vaccination is safe and offers lifelong protection.
