Complete Routine Immunisation Schedule

Update on immunisations by Dr Mirko Sulic

The latest update of the ‘Guidance: Complete routine immunisation schedule‘ by the UK Health Security Agency (HSA) is a useful reminder of the recommended immunisations and when to have them.

While many people are hesitant to get vaccinated, it is important to note that vaccines are one of the most effective ways to prevent infectious diseases. They have been proven to be safe and effective in countless studies.

If you have concerns about vaccinations, it is important to speak to your doctor or another trusted healthcare provider. They can provide you with accurate information and help you to make an informed decision about whether or not to get vaccinated.

An excellent reference for learning more about the vaccines and vaccination procedures is the Department of Health & Social Care’s ‘Immunisation against infectious disease‘, which is popularly known as the ‘Green Book’ and is available online. The online chapters are updated as necessary to reflect the current policies and procedures as advised by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.
