Child Menangitis vaccines
I recently moved to UK and had all vaccines completed till 2 years.  I want to doctor here in UK, they mentioned below vaccines: 1) hiB and Menangitis C: Menitorix ( haemophilus type b and Meningococcal group C conjugate vaccine 2) Menangitis B: Bexsero (Meningococcal group B vaccine). My Indian doctor is not sure and he mentioned hiB is already done for my baby and Meningococcal conjugate vaccine is left. Here they give hiB +meningitis C boostor together. Also, shall I go with Menangitis B. I understand different countries have different disease environment. 1) Shall I go with hiB+ Menangitis C booster though she already had hiB vaccine in India? 2) Shall I also go with Menangitis B Please advise. Attached is her immunization history and 2 vaccines UK Doctor wish to give

Get the vaccines for both variety of meningococcal. In the process of you end up getting hib which had already been given in India, nothing will happen.
