What do parents need to know about measles?

Measles spreads easily and can make children very poorly.

Look out for:
🤒 High fever
😮‍💨 Cough and runny nose
👀 Sore eyes
🔴 A blotchy rash (usually starts on the face and behind the ears)

If you think your child has measles, keep them at home and call your GP or NHS 111.

The MMRV vaccine is the best way to protect them – check they’re up to date.

If you’re drinking alcohol, make sure you have something to eat beforehand, stay hydrated with water or soft drinks, and plan your journey home. Don't end your night in the back of an ambulance!

Please save 999 for life-threatening emergencies. If it’s urgent, but not life-threatening, NHS 111 can help find the right care for you.
