What is measles and why is the MMR vaccine so important?
3 September 2025
Measles can be a very nasty illness that spreads super easily, especially in places like schools and nurseries. Recently, it has been reported that an increasing number of children in the UK have been ill with measles lately, and most of them did not have their vaccine.
To keep everyone safe and healthy, it's really important for all children to have their two doses of the MMR vaccine. If your child has not had their vaccinations yet, or you are not sure, please check with your doctor. Getting vaccinated is a great way to protect your child and all their friends at school!
