9 VACCINATIONS, IMMUNISATION & SCREENING
9.1 Childhood Immunisations
9.1.1 Schedule of Immunisations
It is recommended that children are vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis
(whooping cough), polio (inactivated polio vaccine – IPV), haemophilus influenzae type
b (Hib), pneumococcal infection (pneumococcal conjugate vaccine – PCV), meningitis C
(MenC), and measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) and that girls receive the human
papillomavirus (HPV) for types 16 and 18 (NHS, 2009). The vaccines and boosters are
given at different ages depending on the disease (Table 167) 53 . National targets for
diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTP) and MMR are both 95%. Non-routine
vaccinations for babies are available for tuberculosis for babies more likely to come into
contact with tuberculosis than the general population and for Hepatitis B for babies
whose mothers are Hepatitis B positive. More detailed local vaccination information is
available at ward level, practice level and by ethnicity from the Child Health System
(SystmOne) for 2008/2009.
