Use the gap from your vaccine record, your GP, the travel clinic or the leaflet; this only does the date maths. If you missed the date, ask your surgery or pharmacist what to do next.
Call 111 if you feel unwell after a vaccine and are not sure what to do. Trouble breathing or a swollen face or lips is an emergency: call 999.

The working
8 weeks after 1 September 2026
8 weeks is 56 days, and 56 days after 1 September 2026 is 27 October 2026. Months are added as calendar months, so one month after 31 January lands on the last day of February.
Where the gap comes from
Use your own record
- Your red book or GP record for childhood vaccines
- The travel clinic or pharmacy for travel jabs
- The leaflet or your vaccinator for a course
- Your GP surgery, if you are not sure
If you are late
Ask, do not guess
If a dose date has passed, ask your GP surgery or pharmacist what to do. Do not try to catch up by guessing the timing yourself.

Questions
Common questions
How do I work out when my next vaccine is due?
Add the gap you were given to the date of your last dose. This page does that for days, weeks or months.
What if I missed a dose?
Ask your GP surgery or pharmacist; they will tell you what to do next.
Does a month mean 4 weeks?
No. A month here is a calendar month, so pick weeks if your record gives the gap in weeks.
