About this advice

Measles is a serious viral illness that can be prevented. 

1 in 5 children who catch it need to go to hospital. Adults with vulnerable immune systems can also become very sick, such as pregnant mothers, elderly relatives, and those with cancer.

Right now are several outbreaks in major cities affecting many Muslim communities. These are thought to be driven by low rates of MMR vaccination.

Please share this one page summary and encourage those who have yet to have their MMR vaccine to come forward.
