The World Health Organisation (WHO) has advised that measles cases are on the rise in Europe and England.
Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust school-aged immunisation team, endorsed by BOB ICB and Buckinghamshire Local Authority, are running community vaccination catch-up clinics at Rayner’s Hedge, Aylesbury throughout August. The team are opening their clinics to children with missing MMR and preschool booster doses targeting those due to start school in September 2023 and up to the age of 6 years. Siblings that are missing immunisations are also welcome to attend these clinics.
We will be sending text reminders to the parents / carers of children born between 31/08/17 and 31/08/19 who are missing one or both of their MMR vaccinations with a link to book an appointment at Rayners Hedge on 11th, 17th and 25th August.
Contact 01494 323000, or your child’s GP practice to book. Find out more: www.nhs.uk/mmr and www.vaccineknowledge.ox.ac.uk/mmr-vaccine.
