At birth the BCG vaccine should be given if the baby is deemed at risk of tuberculosis (e.g. Tuberculosis in the family in the past 6 months).
Note that the meningitis ACWY vaccine has replaced meningitis C for 13-18 year-olds. This is due to an increased incidence of meningitis W disease in recent years. The ACWY vaccine will also be offered to new students (up to the age of 25 years) at university
