Measles Outbreak

The 2019 outbreak of Measles is serious. There are risks that children may die of complications. Those who are too young for vaccinations or are immuno-compromised are our most vulnerable.

The only protection is to have the MMR Vaccination.

The MMR vaccine is FREE for those aged 12months - 50years old who have not received 

• Children from 12 months old can be have the MMR vaccine, along with three others on the immunisation schedule (previously given at 15months). 
• Infants aged 6-11 months would need to see a doctor to be prescribed the MMR vaccine if travelling ot countries with measles outbreaks, or if there are concerns about high-risk of exposure to measles.
• Adults over 50 years (born before 1969) are considered immune and do not require the vaccine.
