What is this immunisation?

[kandi]

Received in the post this morning an appointment for my 1 year old dd to have an immunisation for: Men C Booster & Hib Booster

What is this? It's not mentioned in her red book, except the ones at 2, 3 & 4 months which she's had. Am relly puzzling over this one, and can't get hold of the Health Visitor. Can anyone shed any light?

Is this the new one ?

the new one is pneumococcal vaccine ndp

ahhhhhhhh, ta

Normally they do them with mmr I think. Are you sure she's had Meningitis C yet ?

No, but also have this letter, my dd2 has been ill of late so am leaving until she gets better to find out anymore, but like you would be interested if anyone knows anything!

has she had her MMR yet,,that is at 13 months

new one not a booster but a first vaccine, IFYSWIM

Meningitis C and Booster for haemophilus influenzae (another cause of meningitis)

Meningitis c

I am sure the hib booster is done around 1 yr. DD1 had it and was the only one that she reacted to very badly (fine now but gave us a big scare with emergency mid night GP visit etc etc) There is some contraversy about booster but I am not technical enough to comment. I know when I asked about it on here a few years ago I got a lot of tech info about them. Maybe worth looking in archives?

mentions HIB

Thanks everyone. No she hasn't even been invited for MMR yet as she's only 12 months. In her red book it says:

2 mths: Diptheria/Tetanus/Whooping Cough/Polio/Hib/Men C

3 mths: Diptheria/Tetanus/Whooping Cough/Polio/Hib/Men C

4 mths: Diptheria/Tetanus/Whooping Cough/Polio/Hib/Men C

12 - 18 mths: MMR

3-5 yrs: Diptheria, Tetanus, Pertussis Polio; MMR

10-14 yrs: Deaf test and BCG;

15-18 yrs: Tetanus & Polio; Low Dose Diptheria

So no mention of this one. I mean I knew it was Meningitus C, but why does she need it again?

thanks Laylaandsethsmum. That explains things, was thinking they made some sort of mistake
