This patient group direction (PGD) template supports the administration of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and meningococcal C conjugate vaccine to individuals from their first birthday to under 10 years of age in accordance with the national immunisation programme; and to individuals of any age for the prevention of secondary cases of meningococcal group C (MenC) disease in accordance with the Guidance for the public health management of meningococcal disease in the UK.

The Hib/MenC PGD version 05.00 is valid from 31 July 2022 to 1 August 2024 2024 and has been extended to 31 July 2025, when it is anticipated all centrally-held stocks of Menitorix庐 will be depleted. Further communication in respect of the changes to the childhood immunisation schedule will be received before this point.

Once locally held stocks are depleted and Menitorix庐 is no longer available from ImmForm, the authorising manager (as per section 7 of the PGD) should retire this PGD.

Practitioners must not use this PGD template until it has been authorised in Section 2. This is a legal requirement (see ). Practitioners should follow local policy/procedures to access authorised PGD documents.

This PGD template should be used with reference to current national guidance, the Green Book, and for the vaccine.
