Meningitis vaccine

I have just taken DD to have her 2nd batch of immunisations, which include the Meningitis one. I have just read the leaflet and it says that the next Meningitis vaccine (the booster) should be given at least 2 months later. But according to the Red Book, she is due her next jabs in 4 weeks' time, and these will include the
Meningitis booster.

So it seems that the vaccine leaflet and the Red Book contradict each other! Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

the jabs schedule changed fairly recently and MenC is indeed given at 3 and 4 months old. See here

p.s. she will then get another MenC jab at around 12 months
