Infant Jabs (specifically Meningitis)
We are arriving in Oliva soon with our baby daughter (4 months) She is all jabbed up, to UK requirements, but can anyone advise if there are different strains of Meningitis that she will need vaccinated against in Spain please?
Many thanks!
Many thanks!

when you register with doctor here they will want to see the immunisation records - if memory serves me they do the same ones, but the timetabling is a bit different

Re: Infant Jabs (specifically Meningitis)
Just checked our English jab records to our spanish, they have the same in spain as the UK but spanish children also have the HepatiisB vaccinations. The timetable is slightly different, our local vaccination nurse just transferred all the details from England to Spain and then to the childrens horror booked them in to catch up with HepatitisB, she also made them have a few extras to get them in line with the spanish kids! I did go to our GP before we left and got a print out of the exact dates of each of the childrens vaccinations which she said was easier than using the records in their progress books.
