Last edited 04/2019
| Age | Primary/booster | Dose |
| Two months | Primary* | One dose - 4CMenB vaccine |
| Four months | Primary* | One dose - 4CMenB vaccine |
| 12-13 months |
Primary (Men C) and Booster (Hib) Booster (4CMenB) |
One dose - Hib/MenC conjugate vaccine One dose - 4CMenB vaccine |
| Around 14 years | Booster | One dose - MenACWY conjugate vaccine |
* Although the summary of product characteristics for 4CMenB states that three doses should be given in those less than one year of age, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation have advised that the provision of two doses of 4CMenB in infancy at two and four months of age with a booster dose at 12-13 months of age would likely be sufficient to provide substantial protection against MenB IMD in infants and toddlers
Check uptodate details in the The Green Book before prescribing/administering a vaccine.
Check the Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) of the influenza vaccination before prescribing/administering a vaccine.
