Vaccination

From September 2024, pregnant women can get vaccinated to help protect their babies from Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), a virus that affects the lungs and can be very serious for young babies.

The Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella (chickenpox) (MMRV) vaccination is the safest and most effective way to protect against these diseases. You need two doses of MMR to be fully protected.

This leaflet is for children and adults born before January 2020 who are still eligible for the MMR vaccine.

The Boost your COVID-19 and seasonal flu winter vaccines campaign evaluation provides post-campaign evaluation results based on the findings from a quantitative survey with a representative sample of the adult population.

Shingles can be very painful, especially for older people and people with a weaker immune system. Sometimes the pain can stop you from doing your normal activities.

This leaflet explains about the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination schedule for gay, bisexual or other men (GBMSM) who have sex with men up to and including those aged 45 years of age.

This short bilingual guide (in English and Ukrainian) for Ukrainian refugees outlines the vaccinations available free of charge in Northern Ireland and how people can catch up on any vaccinations missed.

This leaflet describes a slightly different way of using the MVA vaccine to protect against mpox. It uses a much lower dose and means that we can vaccinate more people. 

This guide to COVID-19 vaccination for young people aged 16 and 17 and at-risk children aged 12 to 15 outlines the benefits of vaccination, who is eligible, the doses and booster dose, potential side effects and what to do next.

If you are aged 16-17 or aged 12-15 and at-risk, you will receive a copy of this leaflet after you have had your first vaccine. It contains information on the vaccine, potential side effects and what to do next.
