Measles Alert

Measles is one of the most contagious infections, and it spreads like wildfire if people aren’t vaccinated.  A child has recently died in Liverpool from measles, and children can get severely ill.  Protect your child and your community by making sure they have had both their MMR jabs at your GP practice. If you have questions about the vaccine, your GP or Practice Nurse can also advise. Measles – NHS.

If you suspect your child has measles please call the surgery or 111 first as it is highly contagious.
