Next to clean drinking water immunisation is the greatest tool we have to protect society. WHO state over 150 million lives have been saved in the last 50 years. Recently we have seen measles and pertussis outbreaks due to poor imms uptake. Get vaccinated build our defence

On #HPVAwarenessDay we want to remind you of an exciting study which showed that no cervical cancer cases have been detected in women vaccinated at age 12-13 since the HPV immunisation programme started in Scotland in 2008.

Anyone concerned about symptoms should contact their GP (in working hours) or NHS24 out of hours (111).

If you are symptomatic, please do not attend your GP or local hospital without prior notification, as you may risk spreading the disease to others.

[NHS Lothian @NHS_Lothian]

The signs and symptoms of meningitis can develop suddenly. Don’t assume it’s a hangover or the flu. Trust your instincts and call NHS24 free on 111 to seek urgent medical help if you become concerned.
