Changes to the routine childhood vaccination schedule from 1 July 2025 and 1 January 2026 and Changes to the selective hepatitis B vaccination programme from 1 July 2025

Posted on:

We are writing to inform you of significant changes to the routine childhood vaccination schedule and to the selective hepatitis B (HepB) programme occurring from 1 July 2025 and 1 January 2026, including the introduction of a new routine vaccination appointment at 18 months of age. These changes are required as a result of the discontinuation of the manufacture of Menitorix (Hib/MenC) vaccine. This has prompted the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) to recommend and advise on a number of other changes to the national childhood immunisation schedule to optimise the overall protection of children in the UK.

Please share this information with all local partners involved in commissioning and delivering the programme and take action as required.
