NHS England urges those unprotected against measles to come forward for their vaccinations.
Measles cases are continuing to rise across England, with a number of vaccinated children and adults requiring hospital as infections take hold.
NHS figures show almost 3 million children under the age of 16 years are either unprotected or not fully protected and at risk of catching these serious diseases. Measles is not just a childhood disease and can be serious at any age. Two doses of the safe and effective MMR vaccine are needed for maximum life long protection. If you or your child have not had both doses of the MMR vaccine contact the surgery to book an appointment.
