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.
For information about children’s centres and directions please visit the Merton Council website. They are available to help with health matters for the under fives, such as feeding difficulties and all aspects of child development.
