Details

Children and adults are sometimes offered off-label vaccines (vaccines authorised for use but being used in a way that is slightly different from the terms laid down in their license).

These documents, one for parents and one for health professionals, describe the circumstances that can lead to vaccines being used ‘off-label’ and why this may be recommended. They are intended to be used by a wide range of healthcare professionals.

These resources are available to download only.
