From July 1 2016, the Men C vaccine for 12 week-old babies will be discontinued from the NHS childhood vaccination programme.
The success of the Men C vaccination programme means there are almost no cases of Men C disease in babies or young children in the UK any longer.
The dose of Men C vaccine that used to be offered to babies at 12 weeks of age has therefore been removed from the vaccination schedule.
All children will continue to be offered the Hib/Men C vaccine at one year of age, and the Men ACWY vaccine at 14 years of age to provide protection across all age groups.
