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.

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?
