4 injections for immunisations at 12 months old?

I took my 1 year old for his vaccines today and discovered that he had to have 4 injections. I am a third time mum and I cannot recall my older children having 4, I recall one in each leg. I did say this to her but she said it’s been 4 separate injections for many years and I likely cannot remember it. According to gov website which was updated in December 2024 it details the vaccines to be expected at 12 months, which is 4! I am just wondering how on earth I couldn’t remember this from my older children! Is it just me?
I also cannot remember the side effects being this bad, I remember the irritability and tiredness but my son doesn’t seem to want to roll on his side, is crying when he sits and as I write is sleeping on his back instead of rolling onto his side to sleep which he normally does, his legs must be in so much pain!
PS this is not an anti vaccine post at all, they are incredibly important! Just wondering if it’s just me!

Unfortunately it is the case, my little one has his booked in tomorrow - dreading it. It is awful they have so many in one go but the alternative is that they give 1 every few weeks. I guess the rational is to get them all out the way in one go. I am pro-vaccine but dread it when it comes round for the kids

Hope it goes ok today for you and the little one xx
