Summer checklist

Vaccinations

One of the best ways to protect yourself and your family is to make sure everyone has their vaccinations at the time they are recommended.

If you are going on holiday with a child this summer, please make sure they have they had their Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine.

There are more and more cases of measles in the UK and Europe. This has resulted in serious illness and even deaths in a number of adults and children.

Measles are highly infectious and are spread by water droplets that are coughed or sneezed by infected individuals.

You can find out more about the vaccinations your child needs and when by visiting West Yorkshire Healthier Together.
