MMRV is now part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme, replacing the MMR vaccine.

It protects against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.

Chickenpox is very common and can sometimes lead to serious complications, so vaccination helps reduce the risk of serious illness as children grow.

You don’t need to do anything — your GP surgery will be in touch when your child is due.

This year’s theme is a strong reminder that antimicrobial resistance is already here – and it’s affecting our health, our animal’s health, food systems, and economies, and it is closely linked to the environment and pollution. The message is clear: we need to act now, coordinated across all sectors, to address this threat before it gets worse.
