What age are they meant to have this, DD had single jabs at the right time (13 months) and will be 3 in January. Have had a letter from Dr saying she hasn't completed the course, but I thought the booster was given pre school, i.e. just before they went to school.

I am not sure if it is the same with the single jabs and the combined whammy but with the combined one they get it at 13 months and then 18 months accordingy to the little red book.

Doh, how stupid am I. I finally found the right page and says between 3 and 5 so will get her boosted when I take DS for his jabs.

Lots of GPs encouraging having the boosters sooner than pre-school because of the current measles outbreak.
