Are you vaccinated?
Vaccination is the best protection- Measles is highly contagious and spreads through coughing and sneezing.

We are seeing a rise in measles cases in parts of England.

Vaccination is the most effective way to protect children from serious illness.

We’re encouraging parents to check their children are up to date with their vaccinations. Check your child's red book or speak to their GP practice.

🚨👁️ DID YOU KNOW? 👁️🚨
If you have a sudden eye problem, you may be able to use an Urgent Eye Care Service.

🔎 What is it?
An Urgent Eye Care Service provides quick assessment and treatment for sudden eye issues. This is not a routine sight test, but a service for new or urgent symptoms.

⚠️ Symptoms covered include:
• Red or painful eye / eyelids
• Recently occurring flashes or floaters
• Sudden or recent loss of vision
• Foreign body in the eye
💊 For very minor symptoms, you may be advised to self-care or visit your local pharmacy first.

❗ Please note:
This service does NOT cover ongoing management of major eye conditions such as cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, or glaucoma.
Stay informed. Protect your vision. 👁️✨
