One of the best ways to protect your baby against diseases like measles, rubella, tetanus or meningitis is through immunisation. Your baby needs their first injections at eight weeks, then 12 weeks, 16 weeks and one year.As your child gets older, they’ll be offered more appointments to get vaccinated, right up until they are teenagers.
It’s best to have vaccines on time, but you can still catch up on most vaccines if you miss them. You can see the full schedule here, and if you are concerned that your child, or any family member, has missed out on certain vaccines you can speak to your GP practice about catching up.
You will be contacted when your child's immunisations are due.
