Measles Posted or Updated on 27 Feb 2024

In England cases of measles are continuing to increase as is the risk to those unvaccinated.

Measles is serious and without intervention, the NHS could see many hospitalised, and there is a real risk of completely preventable measles related deaths.

Measles can cause blindness, sepsis and meningitis, with encephalitis being a serious concern years after the infection.

Please make sure your child is up to date their MMR vaccinations.
