Ms Brady added: “In exceptional cases, where, for medical reasons, the MMR is not suitable for a child, this would be explained by the family GPs.
“Otherwise we urge all families to protect their children and take up the vaccine. There is no upper age limit.
“For those who are still concerned it is absolutely clear there is no link between the vaccine and autism.”
The MMR vaccine is given in two doses, the first at 13 months and the second when the child is aged between three-and-a-half and five.
