UKHSA webinar: upcoming changes to the routine childhood immunisation schedule (3 December 2025, 14:00 – 15:15)

 On Wednesday 3 December 2025, 14:00 – 15:15, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) Immunisation Team will be hosting another webinar to inform you of the second phase of the changes to the routine childhood vaccination schedule which will be implemented from January 2026. This will include the introduction of a varicella (chickenpox) vaccination programme (MMRV) and a new routine vaccination appointment at 18 months of age.

Further operational information about these changes will be shared with health professionals in the coming weeks. In the meantime, a press release from the Department of Health and Social Care confirms the introduction of the varicella vaccine to the routine schedule.

This webinar is aimed at health professionals involved in the commissioning and delivery of childhood immunisations including those working in primary care, screening and immunisation teams, health visiting teams and integrated care boards (ICBs). Speakers from UKHSA and NHS England will provide attendees with an overview of the changes. A full agenda will follow.
