THere are some that have age limits on them- i think the rotavirus ones have to be given by a certain time or they are not given at all. If you have already had all 2 month & 4 month ones then bub will still have had some exposure to the vaccine.

The vaccines given at 12 months are not ones that they are given doses of at the earlier times, so there probably doesn't have to be a full 6 months between them.

You could ring the Immunisation Line and ask what they recommend- and then make your decisions. their number is 1300 882 008
