From the 17th until the 24th of February it's OCD Week of Action. Follow @OCDAction or visit https://t.co/dYYl3X3SF8 to find out how to get involved in learning more, raising awareness, and contributing to improving treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder! #OCDwoa

[Student Health @ SHU @SHU_Health]

It's estimated that around 1.2% of the UK population are affected by OCD. People with OCD often suffer with negative thoughts, obsessions and compulsions, and stigma and a lack of understanding from others can often add to this.

We offer the MMR vaccination here at Student Health at SHU. If you'd like to book in for your vaccinations or check your vaccination status, ask at our reception desk or contact us on 0114 225 2134.

Have you and your family had the MMR vaccination? It protects you against measles, mumps and rubella. Full protection requires 2 doses, so it’s important to check with your GP practice if you're not sure. A catch-up vaccination is also available. https://t.co/pGbmMXqcSf
