When they reach 1 year of age, you’ll be offered the chance to vaccinate your baby against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, haemophilus influenzae type B, hepatitis B and pneumococcal infections. These are the same vaccines you were offered for your baby when they were 3 and 5 months old. Your baby will be given two injections, one in each leg. Sometimes, these injections are given at the same time.

It’s a good idea for your baby to have eaten and to be calm and content when it’s time for their vaccination. You can even breast-feed or bottle-feed your baby during their vaccination. Your baby can also be given sugar water to drink. This can help make their vaccination less painful.

During their vaccination, you’ll hold your baby in your arms. If needed, your baby can be distracted using a toy, for example. As their parent, you provide your baby with a sense of security.
