+## About the MMR vaccine
+
+The MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps and rubella. Having 2 doses gives lasting protection against all 3 illnesses. If you’re not sure how many doses your child has had, having further doses will not cause any harm.
+
+Research has shown there is no link between the MMR vaccine and autism.
+
+[Find out more about the MMR vaccine on NHS.UK](https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/mmr-vaccine/)
+
+You can also find a range of [information about the vaccine on GOV.UK.](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mmr-for-all-general-leaflet) including in other languages.
+
+### Talk to your child about what they want
+
+We suggest you talk to your child about the vaccinations before you respond to us.
+
+Young people have the right to refuse vaccinations. Those who show [‘Gillick competence'](https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/consent-to-treatment/children/) have the right to consent to vaccinations themselves. Our team may assess Gillick competence during vaccination sessions.

+Use the following template to upload historical vaccination records for HPV, MenACWY and Td/IPV from the last 3 years. 
+
+For MMR, you should go as far back as the oldest member of the cohort minus one year. For example, if you’re vaccinating Year 6 children (where the oldest child is 11), you’d upload records for the last 10 years. For Year 11 children (where the oldest child is 16), this would mean uploading records for the last 15 years.
