Many people aren’t aware that measles can make children seriously unwell and can even lead to life-threatening complications.

The MMRV vaccine is the best way to protect your family. Check your child is up to date with their vaccinations:

🚨The best way to protect your family from measles is to stay up to date with MMRV vaccinations💉

Measles is highly contagious & can make children seriously unwell🤒

@MayorofLondon & I urge all Londoners to check if you or your children need a vaccine👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Vaccines protect your child from measles, whooping cough and other serious illnesses. 🧒

If you're a dad, check if your child has missed vaccinations: look in their red book or speak to your GP practice.
