This is the UK's routine immunisation schedule from 1 September 2023.[1][2][3]
Changes to 2022
From 1 September 2023 changes to vaccine regimes include a one-dose HPV instead of two for adolescents aged 14-25 years.[4] Also, Shingrix gradually replaces Zostavax and the coverage expands to those older than 60 years and over 50 years in those with weakened immune systems.[4] Once stocks of Zostavax have been used up, the recommendation will be two doses of Shingrix 26 weeks to 52 weeks apart for 70-79-year olds..[4]
Vaccines
MenB vaccine, Bexsero, has been recommended at 2, 4 and 12 months since 2015.[5] The MMR vaccine MMRvaxPro contains porcine gelatine.[1]
