Parents and carers are being remined that 'it's never too late to catch up' and urged to ensure their children have both doses of the MMR vaccine to avoid the 'real risk' of a measles outbreak.

From 1 January 2026, changes to the MMR vaccination programme will mean that children born on or after 1 July 2024 will receive their second dose at 18 months of age, while those born on or before 30 June 2024 will continue to have their second dose at 3 years 4 months.
