In the first year of life, your baby will need several vaccines to protect against serious diseases. The standard vaccination schedule includes:
8 weeks:
- 6-in-1 vaccine
- Rotavirus vaccine
- MenB vaccine
12 weeks:
- 6-in-1 vaccine (second dose)
- Pneumococcal vaccine
- Rotavirus vaccine (second dose)
16 Weeks:
- 6-in-1 vaccine (third dose)
- MenB vaccine (second dose)
1 year:
- Hib/MenC vaccine
- MMR vaccine
- Pneumococcal vaccine (second dose)
- MenB vaccine (third dose)
Delaying or skipping vaccines is generally not recommended because it leaves your baby vulnerable to preventable diseases. Vaccines are scheduled at specific times to offer the best protection during early months when babies are most vulnerable to infections.
Most babies experience only mild side effects from vaccines, such as low-grade fever, irritability or a sore spot where the injection was given. These reactions normally resolve on their own within a day or two. However, if your baby experiences a more severe reaction, such as:
- A high fever
- A seizure or fit
- Persistent crying for more than three hours
- A rash or swelling which spreads beyond the injection site
You should seek medical advice immediately.
