MMR Catch-up

Vaccine in Oxford.

Private MMR catch-up for adults whose childhood schedule was incomplete, missed, or undocumented. Particularly important with measles outbreaks in the UK and abroad. Combined Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccine in a single jab. NHS routine childhood MMR remains free — this is private catch-up for adults.

Why MMR catch-up matters now.

Three reasons UK adults are getting MMR in 2026.

MMR catch-up — measles, mumps & rubella protection

Why is MMR uptake a concern?

Measles cases have surged across the UK and Europe since 2024 because childhood MMR uptake dropped below herd immunity thresholds in many regions. Adults who missed their childhood schedule — or got only one dose — are at significant risk during outbreaks.

How serious is measles?

Measles is one of the most contagious infections known. About 1 in 5 cases need hospital care. Complications include pneumonia, encephalitis (1 in 1,000 cases), and rare but devastating subacute sclerosing panencephalitis years later. In adults, severity tends to be higher than in children.

Why is the combined vaccine?

MMR covers Measles (highly contagious respiratory virus), Mumps (parotitis, orchitis, meningitis) and Rubella (mild in adults but devastating to a developing baby in pregnancy). All three are vaccine-preventable with one combined jab.
Symptoms to watch for
