🛑 Measles Cases Are Rising in the UK —
Protect Your Family Now 🛑

Measles isn’t just a childhood illness — it’s a highly contagious virus that can cause serious complications like pneumonia, brain swelling (encephalitis), and even death.

💉 The MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) is safe, effective, and FREE on the NHS. Two doses offer 99% protection against measles. It’s never too late to catch up — adults and older children can still get vaccinated.

✅ Check your records and book your MMR vaccine today:
🔗 NHS MMR Vaccine Information
🔗 UKHSA Measles Dashboard
🔗 GOV.UK Measles Epidemiology Report

🌍 With summer holidays underway, unvaccinated children are at higher risk of catching measles abroad and bringing it home.
Let’s protect our communities — especially babies, immunocompromised individuals, and those who can’t be vaccinated.

📣 Share this post to spread awareness. Vaccines save lives.
Let’s stop measles in its tracks.
