NHS vaccination schedule for babies and young children

This table lists the routine vaccinations for babies and young children in the United Kingdom, by the age at which each dose is usually given. It follows the UKHSA routine immunisation schedule published by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). The NHS gives these vaccines at your GP surgery, usually at the 8, 12, and 16 week appointments and around the first birthday. The table shows the schedule for children born now. A child born before July 2024 may have a different 18-month visit.

When a dose has an age range, it is usually given at any point in that range.
