The UK immunisation programme is based on International guidance but customised to meet the needs and wishes of our population
The programme begins before a child is even born with antenatal immunisations for the mother
The schedule is governed by when a child can mount a response to the vaccine given and maternal factors that may impair the child's response
Incomplete vaccination is more commonly due to social factors and parental misconceptions as opposed to parents disagreeing with the safety of vaccines
The programme is safe, effective and regularly expanding. If you're not sure what's currently in it then consult the Green Book
