Measles on the Rise
Vaccination Catch Up
Latest health information indicates a rise in cases of measles in unvaccinated children across the country including the South West. All those involved in the care of small children are being urged to consult their child’s red book health records or call their GP to find out MMR status. Appointments can be made to book a catch up vaccination.
