When your child is four years old a combined DTPa/IPV vaccine is recommended to strengthen their immunity to diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and polio. It is given as a needle in your child’s arm.

When your child is 18 months old it is recommended they have three vaccines: MMRV, DTPa and Hib. MMRV strengthens their immunity to measles, mumps and rubella and protects them from varicella (chickenpox). DTPa strengthens their immunity to diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis. And Hib strengthens their immunity to Hib. These vaccines are given as needles, usually in your child’s arm.

Now that your child is 12 months old, three vaccines are recommended: 4vMenCV, 13vPCV and MMR. These three vaccines help protect your child from five diseases. The vaccines are given as needles, usually in your child’s arms.

Now your baby is four months old, it is recommended they have another dose of the vaccinations they had at six weeks (combined DTPa-Hib-IPV-HepB, 13vPCV and rotavirus). Each dose strengthens your baby’s immunity to eight diseases.

Two of the vaccines are needles, usually given in the baby’s legs. The other vaccine is given as drops put into your baby’s mouth to swallow.
