| Question: | What vaccinations does my son need before starting school at five years of age? |
| Answer: | Two injections and one oral vaccination are required.
The injections cover tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough in one; and measles, mumps and rubella in the other. The polio (Sabin) vaccine is given by mouth as two drops on a spoon.
Many schools will not accept a child for enrolment unless they have evidence of being fully immunised. |
