30.1 The Chair gave the following communications:
Measles is a highly infectious disease which can lead to serious illness.
The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine provides excellent protection against measles, and it is free on the NHS.
To see if your child is up to date with their MMR vaccine, check their red book, or contact your GP practice. If anyone has missed one or both doses of the MMR vaccine, contact your GP practice to book an appointment. It’s never too late to catch up on your MMR vaccination.
If you or a family member develops any symptoms of measles, contact your GP by phone. Please do not go to your GP, walk-in centre, or any other healthcare setting without calling ahead, as measles is very infectious.
