A second case of measles has been confirmed in the Grampian region.

Chris Littlejohn, deputy director of public health with NHS Grampian, said: “This second case is not linked to the first confirmed case in any way, and we would certainly not describe this as an outbreak. However, confirming a second case locally highlights how much more common measles has become.

"Measles is a serious illness but it can be easily prevented. Vaccination is safe, effective, and for everyone, at any age. It is part of the routine childhood immunisation programme, and I would strongly encourage parents/carers to ensure their child receives all vaccinations they are eligible for.

“Adults are at just as much risk of measles and it’s never too late to get vaccinated.”

Adults who are unsure if they’ve been immunised should contact their GP practice to ask about their vaccination record. If they require immunisation this can be arranged by calling 01224 555 333, Monday-Friday, 8.30am-4.40pm. GP practices do not offer vaccination.

Symptoms of measles can include cold-like symptoms, sore, watery or runny eyes, and a fever. The measles rash typically appears 2-4 days after the first symptoms and usually fades after a week or so. Further information about the signs and symptoms of measles can be found on the NHS Inform website, via this link: Measles | NHS inform

Children up to the age of 6 years are now offered the MMRV, a vaccine which protects against measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (chickenpox). The first dose is offered at 12-13 months, the second at 18-months. Anyone over the age of 6 years will be offered the MMR vaccine. Information about the MMR/MMRV is available here: MMRV vaccine | NHS inform

Information about vaccination programmes and who is eligible can be found on our dedicated Grampian Vax website: Vax Grampian | Vaccination information for the people of the Grampian Region

The Met Office has extended its Yellow Weather Warning for snow and ice from 8pm tonight (Thurs) till around noon tomorrow (Fri). Wintry showers will be bringing patchy ice and some fresh snow accumulations. We also expect further scattered showers leading into the weekend and the region will face sub-zero temperatures over the coming days which will create further icy conditions.
Vaccination Clinics:
Banchory, Garioch, Peterhead and Stonehaven Vaccination Centres will be open tomorrow (Friday 9th January) from 09.15-15:00.
Huntly Vaccination Centre will be running a Childhood Immunisation Clinic only.
Fraserburgh, Huntly and Macduff Centres will be closed and we will be contacting people to re-schedule appointments.
The Shingles/Pneumococcal clinic being held at Turriff Hospital has been cancelled and our team will be in contact with these patients to reschedule.
Our GP practices are working hard to provide as many services and appointments as they are able. Practices have moved many appointments to telephone or online to make sure that people who need care get it.
Community Pharmacies are working to ensure continuity of care and Pharmacy First services are operating. Some Pharmacies may need to adapt opening hours so please keep an eye out for updates locally.
Our amazing Community Nursing, Home Care and ARCH teams have been going above and beyond to ensure that people get the care and support they need.
Across our Care Homes, Community Hospitals, Very Sheltered Housing Complexes and Learning Disability Residential services, staff have been absolutely amazing and have been staying onsite to make sure residents and patients get the care they need.
Special mention to our prison and custody healthcare teams who have been stain locally so that they are able to get into work!
Across our Allied Health Professionals, Social Workers and everyone else in the Partnership, we have been completely blown away by everyone's willingness to be flexible and work in places and services that they wouldn't normally.
Finally a huge thank you to all the Council staff, Framers, contractors and volunteers that have been out clearing roads and care parks to support is all to do what we need to do. 🥰

Good morning Aberdeenshire!
The snow continues to cause disruption to many services across the region and we would ask that people continue to be very cautious in considering if journeys are worth the risk!

Many GP practices will be running reduced services today and we would ask that you check your local practice's social media feeds to see what impact the snow is having locally.

Our Vaccination Clinics across the region will be closed today.

Our Community Nurses are working extremely hard to reach people and they are having to prioritise who they can get out to.

Carers across Aberdeenshire have been going above and beyond to reach vulnerable people and will continue to do so. If you live close to someone that you know to be vulnerable please pop in to see how they are doing if it is safe for you to do so.

Take care and stay warm and safe.
