Measles - Don't Let Your Child Catch It

Make sure your child gets the MMRV vaccine.

The number of children catching measles has risen across Europe and the UK. Children are offered the MMRV vaccine to protect against measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (chickenpox). Your child will be offered a vaccine just after their first birthday and a second dose at 18 months. For the best protection, they need two doses. It’s never too late to be vaccinated.
