#Measles is circulating in the #WestMidlands #MMR uptake is low in the region so many are at risk from this serious infection

For #Muslim #Jewish + other people who don't touch pork - there is a version of the #MMRvaccine that uses NO PORK PRODUCTS

Call your GP + #GetProtected

#Measles is now circulating in the #WestMidlands region - with cases in #Birmingham #Solihull + #Coventry so far

Our #HealthProtection Consultant Paul Fisher is urging families to get up to date with the #MMR vaccine ASAP - before increased mixing + travel for the festive season

[UKHSA West Midlands @UKHSA_WestMids]

We're seeing cases of #Measles across the country - including #WestMidlands

Measles can be a serious infection + lead to complications - especially in young children + those with weakened immune systems

So if you're not up to date with your #MMR vaccinations get protected asap

Some #Pregnant #WestMidlands women didn't get their FREE #Flu + #COVID19 vaccines last year - inc a worrying number of #BlackWomen

Our Senior #HealthProtection Practitioner urges women to #GetWinterStrong - so you don't risk severe illness + hospitalisation or risks to your baby

[UKHSA West Midlands @UKHSA_WestMids]

#Flu or #COVID19 can be very dangerous + even life-threatening for some

The #FluVaccine + #COVIDvaccine reduce risk of serious illness in colder months

That's why our #WestMidlands #HealthProtection Consultant leading on #WinterInfections urges all eligible to #GetWinterStrong
