Are your child’s vaccinations up to date? Our A-Z service finder has helpful information about this. You can check their Red Book or contact your GP practice if you’re not sure. It’s important that vaccines are given on time for the best protection, but it’s never too late to catch up on missed doses.

Measles can be dangerous. Some people get very sick from measles and can develop pneumonia and meningitis. One in five people with measles will go to hospital and in very rare cases people can die. Ask your GP practice about your free MMR vaccination.
