Why are adjustments made to the immunisation schedule?

The immunisation schedule is regularly reviewed to ensure the timing and type of vaccines provide the best protection for your child. Updates might involve adjusting the recommended age for vaccination, altering the number of doses, or adding new vaccine combinations. After thorough research, trials, and analysis, new vaccines are introduced to expand the range of diseases your child can be safeguarded against. The key point is that any change to the schedule aims to maximise your child’s safety by offering broader protection and optimising vaccine effectiveness.

I'm Jamie, age 8 from Bristol. Last year, I got the flu vaccine at school. It was just a quick sniff up my nose – no needles or anything scary! The nurse was really kind and gave me a sticker afterwards. I didn't even feel poorly after, and I didn't catch the flu all winter. It was dead easy. Totally worth it to stay healthy and play footie with my mates.
