With the number of reported measles cases in young people in the UK on the rise, the School Age Immunisation Team at Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust is urging parents and guardians to check their children’s MMR status and make sure they are fully vaccinated against the disease.
Our School Aged Immunisation team will be running flu clinics at community venues across Gloucestershire during the half-term holiday (27-31 October) for those children who do not wish to receive their flu vaccination at school, have missed it due to absence, are home schooled or not in mainstream education.
The NHS is offering the HPV vaccination to all young people in Gloucestershire from Year 8 to age 25 who have not already received it.
