Vaccination Schedules UK & International

Working out what your patient might have been vaccinated for can be tricky, and more so if they were raised outside of the UK. Luckily there are a couple of tools online you can use to make this easier.

For UK

The UK schedule, changes regularly for previous schedules you can go to gov.uk

It is worth noting Tetanus only entered the UK immunisation schedule in 1961

For Europe

vaccine-schedule.ecdc.europa.eu

Nice and easy to use, you can search by country and/or disease. And make comparative searches also.

International

The WHO has a tool to search schedule by country – just put in the country you need.

You can also see lots of other data around coverage etc if needed.

However, I can find no way to search for historical vaccination schedules. E.G. If you wanted to know what year Belgium introduced the national tetanus vaccination program. Be aware these schedules changed all the time.

Don’t forget the bubbles has schedules for Aus, NZ, USA

And finally, the UK government produces a comparison table for the UK and a good number of other nations, if you want to see how the schedules compare.
