My son has missed these injections as he did not go to GP for MMR (we are having seperates)- he is now 16 months. He has therefore not had:
Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib) and meningitis C (Hib/MenC) - one jab or
Pneumococcal infection
(Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, PCV)
I believe these are boosters. Can anyone please confirm? Is it too late for him to have these/will these still be effective? Can he have these on the same day? More importantly should he have these on same day or should he have these spaced and if so how spaced? Finally are these very necessary (obviously Men c is not good). If they are important and if they have only been recently introduced why are they not giving them to older children - I don't think my 3 year old had these when she was this age. Did they not use to give these boosters?
Many thanks
