12 month jabs question

[prm]

Hi,

I have booked my one year old for her 12 month jabs in a couple of weeks at our GPs Forest Hill Road Practice.

After booking I have noticed in the practice booklet that it states:

- At 12 months: Hib and Meningitis C

- At around 13 months: MMR & Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV)

Does anybody know / has any experience on whether these can be given all at once, and is it advisable? I figure if they can, it's one less traumatic trip to the doctors, but they may have separated them for a good reason.

Many thanks,

P

PS. Also wondering if these generally cause similar reaction as earlier ones (in our case, baby got very upset about 4 hours after jabs, was OK by bedtime)

I think they are all given together now, but it's fine either way.

I'm so sure that seb had his 12 and 13mo ones at the same time.

He'd been fine with all vaccinations previously but did have a terrible reaction to he MMR about a week or so later. (textremely high temp, rash on his face, coughing, snotting). It dissapeafed overnight about a week after it initially started. This is not universal so don't worry yourself too much :) he definitely appreciated his treat of white choc buttons afterwards...

I believe it's different now compared to 2 years ago. It's not the same as in most red books, the GP practices now have a different strategy. I don't remember the details but my 14mo got 2 jabs at 12mo and needs to come back soon (must check when) for an additional jab or two.
