Protect Your Family Against Measles

15 May 2024

Many childhood diseases can be serious and measles is circulating in our communities at the moment.

The best way to protect yourself and your children is to be immunised - and you need to have the right number of doses to make sure you have the best protection.

If you or your family are missing any of your MMR vaccine doses, there are now catch up clinics in Sandwell every Saturday starting this weekend, between 10am - 1pm at:

  • Linkway Medical Practice, Frank Fisher Way, West Bromwich, B70 7AW
  • Lodge Road Surgery, Lodge Road, Smethwick, B67 7LU
  • Tame Valley Medical Centre, Friar Park Road, Wednesbury, WS10 0JS

We also want to encourage pregnant mothers to get vaccinated to prevent whooping cough in their babies. For more information, search “NHS whooping cough vaccine” online. If you are pregnant, contact your GP to book your vaccine appointment today.
