      The UK vaccine schedule is listed on the NHS website http://www.nhs.uk/Planners/vaccinations/Pages/Vaccinationchecklist.aspx
      In The Gambia the infants have even more vaccines including BCG (for TB), yellow fever, mealses, hepatitis B.
      Most vaccines are given in early life except HPV which is given about 13 years and when you get old there are afew vaccines, flu and pneumonia.
