For children born after October 1st 2016, Meningitis B and Rotavirus are now part of the routine vaccination program. A copy of the new schedule is detailed below.
These are very important vaccines to avail of and I encourage all parents to ensure they are received in a timely fashion.
Of note, liquid paracetamol (Calpol) should be given prior to and after the meningitis B vaccination. Each parent must have a bottle of calpol and bring this to the appointment or the vaccination may not be issued.
