Is your child eligible for MMRV?

What is it- The MMRV combines the usual MMR vaccine with chickenpox vaccine

From the 1st January 2026, children who turn 12 months of age or 18 months of age will be offered the new MMRV combined vaccine. If a child turns 3 year 4 months on or after 1st January 2026 they will be offered an MMRV at their appointment when invited

· Child Health Information Service (CHIS) will invite children who are eligible as usual by writing to parents.

· If children are eligible, they will only be offered the new combined vaccine. Unfortunately the usual MMR will NOT be available to the group of children who are eligible as above if a parent chooses not to consent to the MMRV.

· If a child has had chickenpox infection previously and is eligible for the vaccine they will still be offered the MMRV vaccine to protect them against measles, mumps and rubella this will not cause children any harm.

· If a child has a date of birth between 1 January 2020 to 31 August 2022 they will be invited for a Selective catch-up from 1 November 2026 for those who have not yet had chickenpox infection or 2 doses of varicella vaccination. We cannot vaccinate these children any sooner than this. The practice will invite these patients near the time.

· If a child has a date of birth 31 December 2019 or before they are NOT eligible for MMRV BUT these patients will have been covered already for MMR if attended when invited and in most cases will have already had chickenpox. If a parent feels their child has missed a dose of MMR then they can contact the surgery and can be vaccinated to make sure 2 doses have been given.

Ashfields have received a number of calls from patients concerned that their appointments will be lost due to the on-going resident doctors dispute.
We would like to reassure that this dispute does not involve our salaried GPs within the Practice , only our trainee doctors are involved.
Appointments can still be made and patients will be seen
