Measles is more than just a rash – it is a serious condition that spreads very easily and can lead to severe illness and even death.
While most children have protection through the MMR vaccine, around one in ten in England do not, so are at risk of catching the disease. In some parts of the country, this is as high as four in ten children.
The MMR vaccine is recommended with the first dose at the age one year of age and a second dose at age three years four months.
For maximum protection, you need both doses of the MMR vaccine.
