Families are being urged to protect their children against the spread of measles and other potentially deadly childhood illnesses, as part of a new NHS vaccination drive. Children aged from 12-months to 11 years old who have missed one or both doses of the vaccine, will be invited as part of the NHS England’s campaign which runs until March next year. In addition to measles, mumps and rubella (MMR/V), the vaccine will also include protection against chickenpox (Varicella).
