Please make sure your child is up to date with their vaccinations and book an appointment at the surgery to catch up on missed doses. Two doses of the MMR vaccine can provide lifelong protection against measles.
Measles is more than just a rash. 1 in 5 children with measles will need hospital treatment. It can cause serious complications and in rare cases can be fatal.
If you are unsure if you or your child are up to date with your vaccinations, please contact the practice.
If you have recently tested positive for COVID-19, you may be eligible to participate in a trial of anti-viral medication. If you would like to be considered for the trial, you can enrol on the website www.panoramictrial.org.
Treatment needs to be started as soon as possible after the positive test so if you wish to be part of the trial then do not delay treatment.
