Measles can spread very easily among those who are unvaccinated, especially in nurseries and schools.
People who get measles can be very poorly. It usually starts with cold-like symptoms, followed by a rash a few days later.
The best way for parents to protect their children from measles is the MMR vaccine. Two doses of the MMR vaccine give lifelong protection and its never too late to catch up.
If your child has not been vaccinated and you are considering requesting the MMR vaccine, please feel free to contact the Practice and speak to our Immunisation Nurse. She will be happy to chat through with you any concerns you may have.
