The MMRV vaccine has replaced MMR for children aged 0-5 years. it protects long-term against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox (varicella).

These infections spread easily from person to person and can cause serious complications, including meningitis, blindness, and hearing loss.

Measles is not just a childhood disease and can be serious at any age. If you’re pregnant, getting measles can lead to premature birth, miscarriage or stillbirth. Meanwhile rubella can harm your baby’s development, potentially damaging their sight or hearing.

Two doses are needed to build lasting protection. Those who haven’t had both doses will be more at risk.

There are several important steps you can take to help protect yourself and your family this season. Get vaccinated.

During the colder months, viruses common in winter can make some people very unwell, potentially leading to serious health complications that may require hospital care. In some cases, these illnesses can even be life-threatening.

Therefore, this autumn and winter, the NHS is offering free vaccines to those most at risk of catching flu, Covid, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). By getting your vaccinations, you not only reduce your own risk but also help prevent spreading viruses to others – helping to protect your family and community.

All NHS vaccines have undergone rigorous testing to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
