What vaccines are recommended now my child is 12 months?

Now that your child is 12 months old, it is recommended they have three vaccines. These include a vaccine that protects against meningococcal disease, a vaccine that protects against pneumococcal disease, and a combined vaccine that protects against measles, mumps and rubella. It is also recommended that your child gets an influenza vaccine every year before the influenza season. Influenza vaccines are free for all children aged six months to under five years and can be given at the same time as age-specific vaccines.
