New Baby immunisation from January 2026

The new MMRV vaccination: a guide for parents and carers has been published.

It covers all the information you need to know about the new MMRV vaccination, which will be offered from January 2026.

Essentially it is the same as the old MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccination, but it will also provide protection from Varicalla - also known as Chicken Pox.
