All of these with the exception of the BCG will be given in the surgery by your practice nurse.

• BCG – Bacille Calmette Guerin vaccine
• PCV – Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine
• Men C – Meningococcal C vaccine
• Men B – Meningococcal B vaccine
• Hib – Haemophilus Influenzae B vaccine
• MMR – Measles Mumps Rubella vaccine
• rotavirus vaccine
• 6 in 1 – Diphtheria, Tetanus, Whooping Cough (Pertussis), Hepatitis B,
  Hib (Haemophilus influenzae B), Polio (Inactivated poliomyelitis),

When your child is aged 4 to 5 years, they will get two further booster vaccines:

• The 4 in 1 booster to protect against diphtheria, polio, tetanus and whooping cough (pertussis); and
• a second dose of the MMR vaccine to protect against measles, mumps and rubella.

These vaccines are usually given by a HSE doctor or nurse in primary school.
