MEASLES OUTBREAK

🚨 Measles Outbreak in London – Is Your Child Protected? 🚨
Health officials have confirmed a rise in measles cases across London, with several local outbreaks reported in recent weeks. Measles is highly contagious and can spread quickly among unvaccinated children and adults.
Measles isn’t just a rash — it can lead to serious complications including ear infections, pneumonia, and inflammation of the brain (encephalitis). Young children, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems are especially at risk.
The best protection is the MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps and Rubella), which is safe, effective, and offered free through the NHS. Two doses provide long-lasting protection.
👉 Is your child fully vaccinated?👉 Have they received both doses of the MMR vaccine?
If you’re unsure, check your child’s Red Book or contact us to confirm their vaccination status. Catch-up appointments are available.
Let’s work together to protect our families and our community. 💙
