This year, children are being offered the MMRV vaccine as part of the routine childhood immunisation schedule, protecting against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox. While chickenpox is often mild, it can cause serious complications. Children born from January 2025 will receive MMRV at 12 and 18 months. Those born between July and December 2024 get MMRV doses at 18 months and 3 years 4 months. A catch-up programme runs from November 2026 for eligible children aged under 6. Your GP will contact you when your child is due.

If you have any questions, speak to your GP practice. You can read more at nhs.uk/mmrv
