MEASLES
The best protection is 2 doses of the safe, effective MMR vaccine at 1 year and 3 years 4 months
If your child has not had two doses, please contact us ASAP
Know the symptoms, keep people with symptoms away from others
Please do not walk into the surgery if measles are suspected – contact us online as usual
Symptoms include: high fever, sore red, watery eyes, coughing, aching and feeling generally unwell, a blotchy red brown rash, which usually appears after the first symptoms
You may receive a text from NHS England regarding the MMR vaccine – if your child is fully vaccinated (two doses) then there is no futher action needed. We are happy to confirm patients’ vaccination status
There is currently no plan to bring the 1 year vaccination forward
