Children Routine Vaccinations


It’s very important that routine childhood immunisations are started and completed on time.

To provide clarity on the scheduling of the second dose of MMR vaccine, the green
book chapter states:

the first dose of MMR should be given between 12 and 13 months of age’ and ‘a
second dose is normally given before school entry but can be given routinely at any
time from three months after the first dose. Allowing three months between doses is
likely to maximise the response rate, particularly in young children under the age of 18
months.

Link: Measles: the green book, chapter 21 – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Where an accelerated schedule is followed for the second dose of MMR in London,
Public Health England recommends this is given from 18 months of age to maximise
the response rate in all children.
