The MMRV vaccine gives protection against four serious diseases: measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (chickenpox).

The two MMRV vaccines used in the UK, ProQuad® (contains gelatine) and Priorix-Tetra®, are both live attenuated vaccines which means they contain weakened forms of the viruses that cause measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella, so cannot cause the disease itself.

The aim of the MMRV programme is to provide two doses of MMRV vaccine at appropriate intervals for all eligible individuals. As the programme has recently changed, the child’s date of birth determines which vaccine they will receive and when. More information can be found by clicking the link below.

The MMR vaccine was introduced in the UK in 1988, with varicella being added in January 2026. The MMRV vaccine has been safely used for over a decade and is already part of the routine childhood vaccination schedule in several countries, including Canada, Australia and Germany.
