In the United Kingdom, development and implementation of the national immunisation programme is centrally coordinated and funded by the Department of Health on behalf of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. A number of significant changes were made to the UK immunisation schedule for 2013\/2014. Three new vaccines were introduced: intranasal influenza and oral rotavirus for children and subcutaneous shingles for older adults. To ensure protection against meningococcal C infection into adulthood, there has been a change to the schedule for meningitis C vaccination. The temporary pertussis vaccination programme for pregnant women, set up in response to an increase in the number of cases of pertussis particularly among young babies, has been extended until further notice. Furthermore, in response to large outbreaks of measles in south Wales and other parts of the UK, a national measles, mumps and rubella catch-up campaign specifically targeted at unvaccinated children aged 10\u201316 years was launched to ensure that all children and young people have received two doses of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. This review describes the rationale behind these policy changes. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2054270415577762","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,12]],"date-time":"2015-05-12T02:21:23Z","timestamp":1431397283000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["The UK immunisation schedule: changes to vaccine policy and practice in 2013\/14"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Christina J","family":"Atchison","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Primary Care and Public Health, School of Public Health, Imperial College, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sondus","family":"Hassounah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"WHO Collaborating Centre for Public Health Education and Training, Imperial College, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,11]]},"reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr1-2054270415577762","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.2011.238386"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr2-2054270415577762","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vaccine.2007.02.072"},{"key":"bibr3-2054270415577762","first-page":"CD008521","volume":"11","author":"Soares-Weiser K","year":"2012","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr4-2054270415577762","DOI":"10.1016\/j.coviro.2012.05.002"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr5-2054270415577762","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-0009.2012.00664.x"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr6-2054270415577762","DOI":"10.1097\/INF.0b013e318270362c"},{"unstructured":"Department of Health.
