§ Ms. HarmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if children in the(a) Lewisham and North Southwark district health authority and (b) Camberwell district health authority will be able to have mumps, measles and rubella immunisation at the age of (i) one year, (ii) two years, (iii) three years, (iv) four years or (v) five years.
§ Mrs. CurrieFollowing advice from the joint committee on vaccination and immunisation, we recommended to health authorities that MMR vaccine should be offered to infants at age 15 months with an additional "catch-up" programme to take in four to five-year-olds at the time of their diphtheria, tetanus and polio pre-school boosters. Vaccination of children at other ages is a matter for decision by individual clinicians.
