The Department of Health recommends that all children of a certain age are immunised against childhood vaccine-preventable infections. Our interactive wheel provides you with the latest Department of Health recommendations for when a child should be vaccinated. Both routine and non-routine schedules are detailed.

This wheel should not be considered as a substitute for advice from your healthcare practitioner.

To use the wheel, rotate the outer edge to the appropriate age ‘Visit’ group. The highlighted segment will indicate the recommended vaccine programme and a further information box will appear giving details of each vaccine.

If you think you or your child is not up-to-date with vaccinations, you can ask your GP or nurse at any time for advice. The Department of Health considers it is important to have vaccinations to protect you and your family against dangerous or life-threatening diseases.

Pfizer Vaccines provide free text message (SMS) reminder services specifically supporting both flu vaccinations and childhood immunisation. It’s easy to register, click here.
