MMR Vaccine

Measles spreads quickly and can be serious. Is your child protected? Vaccinate to protect your child against measles mumps and rubella.

Two doses of the MMR vaccine give protection for life. Make sure your child is up to date:

  • At 1 year
  • At 3 years 4 months

Contact your GP if your child has missed any vaccinations.

Adults who missed out on the MMR vaccine can catch up at any time.

For more information, please visit NHS: MMR Vaccine.
