Measles
The press is scary at the moment.
We are not currently aware of any local cases. But vigilance is key.
Usually measles starts with cold-like symptoms, then a rash develops on the face and behind the ears. Occasionally small spots also develop in the mouth.
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/measles/
The BEST way to protect you and your family
is to get vaccinated. Measles is spreading because parents are making the decision not to vaccinate their children.
Once you are 16 you can make your own decisions about vaccines so please contact us if you are overdue any vaccines
