To support the introduction of the MMRV vaccine into the routine childhood vaccination schedule from January 2026, an information and communications toolkit has been developed and is available on the campaign resource centre. Communications assets and social media materials will be added to the site over the next week for use when the change is introduced.

Also, there is a webinar on 12 January 2026 which focuses on communicating the benefits of the vaccines offered in pregnancy. Please register and encourage your teams to register too. Details below:
