We have measles vaccines if you need them!
If you were born after 1969 and dont have records of having had 2 measles vaccines you may not be fully immune.
Come and book with us or book an online measles booster.
57,000 infants cannot be immunised, many other preschoolers haven’t been fully vaccinated yet. Protect them from this severe illness

It’s Measles Immunisation Week! 🛡️
Measles is highly contagious - but the good thing is it’s also preventable. This week is all about making sure our communities are protected.
✅ The MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) is free for anyone under 18 and for those eligible for free healthcare. Two doses of the MMR vaccine provide 99% of people with protection against measles.
📍 Drop-in clinics are running in many places across the country - no appointment needed.
📍 Many pharmacists and GP clinics offer MMR immunisation.
👶 Not sure if your child is immunised? Now’s the time to check.
