In February 2022, the Department, the UK Health Security Agency and NHS England launched a new campaign designed to increase awareness and uptake of both doses of the MMR vaccine in children under the age of five years old.

NHS England also implemented an MMR catch up campaign in March 2022, including a central call and recall for children aged one to six years old who are not up to date with their MMR vaccines. This was supported by a communications campaign through the health system and with stakeholders.
