Changes to the routine childhood immunisation schedule from July 2025

Starting 1st July 2025, the UK’s childhood immunisation schedule will undergo important updates. These changes have been recommended by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) to improve protection against infectious diseases and reflect the latest scientific evidence and available vaccinations supply.

The majority of these changes only affect children born on or after 1st July 2024. As a parent or carer, it’s important to understand what these changes mean for your child. If your child was born before this date, they can continue on their existing immunisation schedule.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to our practice nurses. More information is also available during your child’s vaccination appointments. Don’t forget to bring your child’s redbook to the appointment.
