Measles - don't let your child catch it - get them vaccinated

The number of young people catching measles has risen. Its never too late to be vaccinated.

You will need two doses of MMR one month apart to be fully protected against measles, mumps and rubella.

Its time to make measles a disease of the past.

If you have symptoms of measles, stay at home and phone your GP or NHS 111 for advice. STAY AWAY from GP surgeries and A&E departments - you could spread illness to others.
