MMR cases are increasing.

There is a recall system in place where NHS England are proactively contacting all parents and guardians of 6 to 11 year olds regarding the importance of having two doses of MMR. This includes patients whose children are fully vaccinated.

The Practice has been contacting patients directly for those with children aged 6 to 11 years who we believe do require a vaccination. 

However, we are able to offer MMR vaccinations to any patients who have not had two doses before in their lifetime. If you have any queries please do contact the Practice team on 01420542542. Appointments are also available via the NHS app and online accounts.
