Local pop-up MMR vaccination clinics

Posted by: Umbrella Medical - Posted on:

Due to an increase in measles cases across the West Midlands, pop-up vaccination clinics have been set up in Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall & Wolverhampton for children aged 12-16 years to get their measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.

Measles can spread quickly among communities, particularly schools, if children have not had two doses of the MMR vaccine.

The pop-up clinics will be staffed by trained healthcare professionals from the NHS and Vaccination UK. Book to attend with your child at your nearest clinic.
