MEASLES – Dont let your child catch it.

Measles is in the news again !

Your child is at risk of measles if he or she hasn’t had the MMR vaccination.

Two doses of MMR vaccine are needed to get the best protection. If your child is due to have had two doses of MMR but has not yet recieved them, no matter what age they are, you should make an appointment with the surgery.

If you are not sure they have had an MMR vaccine please call the surgery to book an appointment for an MMR.
