We missed our baby's 12-month vaccinations — can they get them all at their next appointment?

Dr Phil Kieran: The current evidence supports vaccinating children even if they are not fully well

We missed our child's 12-month vaccination — MMR and MenB — in December because she was unwell at the time. Does this mean she will need to receive these vaccines along with the Hib/MenC and PCV vaccines at the 13-month appointment? That seems like a lot for a baby to get at one GP visit. 

It can often be difficult to get children's vaccines on the exact date they are due because of the frequent sniffles and temperatures they often get in their first year. Many parents can be anxious about their child getting vaccines when they are not feeling 100%. However, we work hard to solve this for parents as vaccines are the most important medical development in the past 100 years.
