European immunisation week

This week is European Immunisation Week - a time to celebrate how valuable vaccines are to our health and remember that it's never too late to protect yourself and others from diseases like measles.

The number of people catching measles has risen, but getting vaccinated is easy - you just need two doses of the MMR vaccine to be fully protected. 

It's time to make diseases like measles a thing of the past.  For more information contact your local GP surgery or visit the NHS Choices website.
