Missed a dose?

If your child missed a dose or started late, most vaccines can be given on a catch-up basis. The schedule does not usually need to restart. Talk to your pediatrician, who can adjust timing safely for your child.

About this schedule

The NHS routine immunisation schedule is offered free to every child in the United Kingdom. It starts at 8 weeks rather than at birth, leans heavily on combination vaccines so babies receive fewer injections, and includes MenB in infancy, which many countries do not. Doses are given at precise ages rather than in ranges.
