Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) Vaccination

Cases of measles are on the rise in England and there is a growing public health risk.  This has been declared a national incident. 

You can read the most uptodate advice and guidance regarding this here.  If you’ve not had the 2 doses of the MMR vaccination then full details are provided on where to get vaccinated.   

If you have symptoms of measles stay at home and phone your GP or NHS 111.

Please DO NOT attend the surgery or A&E without informing them that you think you have measles before your visit – you could spread the illness to others.

Vaccinations

Travel Vaccinations

If you're planning to travel outside the UK you may need to be vaccinated against some of the serious diseases found in other parts of the world. View the NHS Travel Vaccination Advice. 

You can also make a routine appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements.  We will discuss with you which country and the area within the country you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.  

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.

Seasonal Flu Vaccinations

The Winter Booster vaccination will be available for eligible patients from September onwards.  We will contact you if you are eligible and invite you to book an appointment for your flu vaccination.

Covid Vaccinations

The Winter Booster vaccination will be available for eligible patients from September onwards.  We will contact you if you are eligible and invite you to book an appointment for your covid vaccination.
