MMR is on the RISE

It’s very easy to catch measles if you’re in close contact with someone who has it. Nine out of ten unvaccinated children can catch measles if someone in their class has it.

The MMR vaccine is the safest and most effective way to protect against measles. If you or your family haven’t had both doses, it’s never too late to catch up. It’s free on the NHS, whatever your age.

Measles isn’t just a childhood disease; it can make adults seriously unwell too.
