Measles
Measles cases are rising in England. Measles is highly infectious and can be passed on even before a rash appears.
Make sure your child is protected from becoming seriously unwell with measles by checking they are up to date with their MMR vaccinations.
Older children and adults who haven’t had both doses of the MMR vaccine could also be at risk.
Two doses are needed for lifelong protection and it’s never too late to catch up. For more information about the symptoms of measles and what to do if you think you or your child may have measles visit the NHS website
