Measles cases are once again rising in the UK, with outbreaks confirmed in several regions, including Manchester. We’re asking paediatricians and health professionals to ‘think measles’: be alert to symptoms and use every opportunity to talk to families about vaccination.
Checking whether children are up to date with their MMR vaccine is one of the most effective ways we can protect against further spread.
Download and share our ‘Think measles’ poster to promote awareness among families and colleagues.

Together, we can keep children safe and work towards consigning measles to history.
