Think twice if you thinking of buying a Skoda EV. My vehicle developed an electrical/battery issue in June but Skoda has such a shortage of approved EV repair centres that it still has not even started to investigate the problem. @SKODAUK

The MMR vaccine can prevent measles. It also protects you from mumps and rubella.
Cervical cancer will be almost eliminated in coming decades if HPV vaccination rates are high in children.

1/3. Feeling a bit grim? Colds are never fun, but if you've picked one up make sure you get plenty of rest and stay hydrated to help you get better quickly.
Painkillers like paracetamol or ibuprofen, and decongestant sprays or tablets can help you manage your symptoms.
If someone you know is in hospital, make sure plans are in place to bring them home for Christmas.
Sometimes it's the little things, like making sure the fridge is stocked, they know how they're getting home, who meeting them and where the keys are, that can make the difference.
(1/3) Our Emergency Department is extremely busy. Please keep it free for those who need it.
We need two things from our community:
