There's still time to be protected against measles.

If you, or your child, haven't received two doses of the MMR vaccine, call your GP!

Two doses of the MMR vaccine provide the best protection against measles, mumps, and rubella.

Measles is highly infectious and can be passed on even before a rash appears.

Make sure you are protected from becoming seriously unwell from measles by making sure you are up to date with your MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccinations.

#HPV is a really fantastic vaccine. I often wish it had been around when I was younger (!)

[UK Health Security Agency @UKHSA]

The #HPV vaccine helps to prevent HPV-related cancers from developing in boys and girls, with millions of doses given as part of the NHS vaccination schedule since 2008.

It's exciting that the power of drama to bring positive change is burning so brightly. Amazing writing, acting, directing/producing - but #SubPostMasters should not have had to rely on drama for hope of justice.

Following the identification of a new COVID-19 variant, the autumn flu & COVID-19 vaccine programme will start earlier in England than planned.

If you’re eligible for one or both of the vaccines, you should come forward as soon as you’re invited.
