At whhat age do you have the following vacinations in the uk? |
> Hepatitis B You have BCG at around 14 (or used to, they've stopped it now) i know rubella and bcg are done in high school hepatitis B isn't given at all unless you work in a hospital/prison or where you are likely to be bitten,scratched ect. hep B has never been routinely done in uk, however in some parts they are doing it. my daughter had baby in birmingham last year he had it. its given at birth. my children were born abroad and had it. typhoid i think is only done if u need it ie travelling to area where vaccination is required and i dont think it lasts that long usually done with cholera. Tetananus polio diptheria are the triple injections given 3 times during first year then i think u get boosters pre school and teenage years. BCG and rubella are done early teens. There is a very good site for this kind of info: |
