A guide to vaccinations for children aged 18 months for children born on or after 1st July 2024 (leaflet)
A Public Health England leaflet for the new 18-month appointment for the second MMRV vaccine dose.
From 1 July 2025, all children born on or after 1 July 2024 will be offered their second dose of measles, mumps, rubella and varicella vaccine (MMRV) in a new appointment at 18 months rather than at 3 years and 4 months. This leaflet explains the immunisations offered to children in accordance with the Changes to the routine childhood immunisation programme. Routine vaccinations start with a priming dose as a baby. Get your child's boosters at the right age, or soon after, to help provide lifelong protection.
