1 National Immunisation Programme changes Michael Baker Wessex Public Health England Centre
2 Changes to the Meningococcal serogroup C conjugate (MenC) vaccine schedule in Immunisation Programme changes
3 What is meningococcal serogroup C disease? Meningococcal disease occurs as a result of an invasive bacterial infection Transmission is by aerosol, droplets or direct contact and usually requires frequent or prolonged close contact Incubation period 2-7 days Meningococcal infection most commonly presents as either meningitis or septicaemia, or a combination of both In the UK Meningococcal C is one of 13 serogroups: B&Y are currently the most common, less common serogroups include C&W 3 Changes to MenC conjugate vaccine schedule
4 Impact of MenC vaccination programme Number of laboratory confirmed serogroup C cases in England and Wales, Source: Public Health England, Infectious Disease Epidemiological Data 4 Changes to MenC conjugate vaccine schedule
5 Key message: Why is there a change to the MenC vaccination schedule? One dose of MenC in infancy has been shown to provide sufficient protection until booster at 12/13 months However, individual protection in young children wanes A booster dose for adolescents will provide longer-term protection and maintain herd protection to help protect infants and younger children freshers (temporary catch up for new starters at university setting under 25 years commencing in 2014) are also being offered another dose of MenC vaccine because of an increased risk of disease and sub-optimal protection from vaccination under 10 years of age 5 Immunisation Programme changes

7 What is rotavirus? Rotavirus is a virus that causes gastroenteritis, in particular in infants and young children Estimated that all children will become infected with rotavirus at least once by the time they are 5 years old Estimated that rotavirus causes around half of all gastroenteritis in children aged under 5 years Image courtesy of PHE/SPL 7 The infant rotavirus vaccination programme

10 Rotarix dosage and schedule 2 dose schedule Oral administration First dose of 1.5ml at 8 weeks (two months) of age Second dose of 1.5ml at least four weeks after the first (i.e. 12 week appointment) It is preferable that the full course of two doses is completed before 16 weeks of age. Rotarix must be given no later than 24 weeks (i.e. 23 weeks and 6 days) 10 Immunisation Programme changes
11 Intussusception Intussusception is a naturally occurring condition of the intestines Research from some countries suggests that Rotarix may be associated with a very small increased risk of intussusception Even with this small potential risk, the benefits of vaccination in preventing the consequences of rotavirus infection outweigh any possible side effects 11 The infant rotavirus vaccination programme
12 Universal influenza vaccine programme for children 12 Immunisation Programme changes
13 Flu vaccines for all children.. All two to 16-year-olds in the UK are to be offered annual flu vaccinations The children will be immunised using a nasal spray (Fluenz) rather than an injection, starting in 2014 at the earliest The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) said the new strategy would avert a large number of flu cases among children as well as many severe cases and deaths, mostly among the elderly and others vulnerable to the infection Chief Medical Officer for England, Prof Dame Sally Davies: "Even with moderate uptake of 30% it's estimated that this should result in 11,000 fewer hospitalisations and 2,000 fewer deaths each year. 13 Immunisation Programme changes
14 Seasonal Influenza Extension Introduce annual influenza vaccination for all children age 2-16 by 2015/16 Current roll out plan: /14 Routine 2 yr olds Pilot 2-10 yr olds /15 Routine 2-10 yr olds Pilot yr olds /16 Routine 2-16 yr olds 14 Immunisation Programme changes
