It’s not too late to
protect your child against Measles, Mumps and Rubella.
NHS Lothian is
running a catch-up campaign for young people aged 10 to 17 years who have not received two
doses of MMR vaccine.
Some young people missed out on the MMR
vaccination when they were younger. Two doses of the vaccine are required to
ensure protection.
Information has
been sent to parents and guardians of children who are 10 to 17 years old whose
health records show they may not have completed the full course of MMR
vaccination. NHS Lothian is encouraging parents and guardians of these children
to contact their General Practice to arrange MMR vaccination for their child.
To find out more,
