Measles is about in Greater Manchester and there is the potential for cases to increase

Measles is not just a little rash – it can be dangerous, especially for young children and babies. It spreads quickly and easily. Vaccination is the best protection for everyone. This month, millions of parents, carers and young adults in England are being contacted by the NHS to book missed measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccines as part of a major new campaign to protect those at risk from becoming seriously unwell. If you or your child have not had both doses of the MMR vaccine contact your GP surgery to book an appointment as soon as possible and catch up (and encourage others to as well).
