Millions of parents and carers in England are being urged to book their children in for their missed measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine as part of a major new NHS drive to protect children from becoming seriously unwell, as measles cases continue to rise across the country.
The NHS campaign will see all parents of children aged from six to 11 years contacted encouraging them to make an appointment with their child’s GP practice for their missed MMR vaccine.
NHS figures show more than 3.4 million* children under the age of 16 years are either unprotected or not fully protected and at risk of catching these serious and completely preventable diseases.
NHSE will be contacting eligible patients by letter in the coming weeks.
You can book an appointment with our Practice Nurse Stephanie Buist if you are eligible for vaccine. Please contact our reception team 01704 501500 to book an appointment
