Big coats, snowsuits and other bulky clothing feel warm and comforting when the cold weather creeps in, but they can be dangerous for your child in the car.

In a crash, those bulky layers compress under the force of the impact, creating slack in the harness or seatbelt. This reduces the effectiveness of the harness and increases the risk of serious injury.

The NI childhood immunisation schedule is changing giving even better protection with the introduction of the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine.

From January 2026, eligible children will be offered a combined vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) - as part of the routine infant vaccination schedule.

As with other childhood immunisations, parents will be contacted by their GP surgery to arrange an appointment if their child is eligible. If you are unsure if your child is up to date with vaccinations the easiest way to check is to look at your child’s red book or speak to your health visitor or GP.
