Measles cases on the rise

The World Health Organization (WHO) has advised that measles cases are on the rise in Europe and England.

The team are opening their clinics to children with missing MMR and preschool booster doses targeting those due to start school in September 2023 and up to the age of 6 years. Siblings that are missing immunisations are also welcome to attend these clinics.
