Do babies get all their 12 month vaccines at the same appointment?

[KellyJellyfish]

My LO is turning 1 soon and I’m keen for her to get her 12 month jabs asap as she starts nursery shortly after her birthday. It looks like she’s got several jabs coming up - MMR, Hib/MenC, Pneumococcal and MenB.

Are all of these jabs done on the same day? Or will I need to take her to the GP several times, if so what’s the gap between jabs?

Thanks

Where I could, I'd choose to have them on separate days. Even if it was just a week apart. Some are 2 or 3 in 1 though.

We had them all in one go, I wasn’t given the option to do it separately

I give them all in one appointment, unless the parent asks for them to be split. Just means they are over and done with in one go, 3 parts they’ve had before (men b/pneumo & hib) so mmr and men c are new. So you can split, I do find that they know when they come back why they are there at these ages, and we don’t give men b or pneumo after 2 years so make sure if you’re going to get them you do it before then.

Thanks all, I think I’ll get them all at the same time if possible

Do you know if parents need to contact the doctors to arrange- or do we automatically receive a letter? My LO has just turned 1 but I haven't yet arranged them.

It was 4 injections at one appointment for us. We were given the option of either one in each limb or two in each leg. We chose two in each leg so that DD wasn't in pain all over!

They explained that we would have two separate appointments but they don't recommend it because at 12 months they remember why they were there the week before and get upset! It also prolongs the vaccine recovery periods (DD never took more than a day or two to come round, but I wouldn't want to have to deal with two bouts of that so close together!) x

My daughter had them over 3 sessions due to a reaction at 4 months to the menB. It took 4 months to do them as they have to be at least a month apart. I wouldn't separate them unless there is a strong medical reason.
