MMR

Catch-up

Campaign

Due to the increase in measles cases in the UK and Europe an MMR catch-up campaign is now available.

If your child missed any doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, they can get this at the Health Centre.

If your child has a Date of Birth between 1 April 2018 to 1 December 2022, who have missed their vaccine(s) as part of the routine schedule, we will write to you to let you know this is now available and that you should book an appointment with us.

For children and adults aged 6 years up to and including 25 years of age, Health Trusts are runnig catch-up clinics (ie anyone with a Date of Birth between 31 March 2018 to 1 April 1998).

If you are in this age group and think you may need an MMR you can get the vaccines at your local MMR vaccine clinic at the link below. You can make an appointment or just turn up. You do not need to wait to receive a letter.
