Vaccinations for young people

This page is for young people, parents and carers looking for information about vaccinations during the teenage years and early adulthood.

Vaccination continues to be important as you get older. Young people are offered vaccinations at different stages, including through school vaccination programmes.

Keeping vaccinations up to date helps protect you and other from serious infectious diseases.

If you have missed a vaccination, you may still be able to receive it.
