Public Health - Measles Information
Dear families,
We have been asked by Public Health to share the following information with you:
With the current measles outbreak, we want to make sure all children stay safe. Measles can spread quickly, especially among children who haven’t had the MMR vaccine. We understand that some families may have personal reasons for choosing not to vaccinate their child against the measles virus. Our role is not to judge, but to support every family with clear, trusted information.
- Here’s how we’re helping:
- Sharing clear, fact-based information about the MMR and other childhood vaccines
- Pointing families to trusted sources like the NHS and Public Health England
- Offering a safe space to ask questions or talk about any concerns
The MMR vaccine is safe and does not cause autism
It is suitable for all faiths and cultures – a pork-free version is available
It’s free and available at all GP practices
Please stay alert for symptoms and follow any public health advice. You can find more information here:
You can also find a 2 sided easy to read guidance sheet here: Guidance Document
Thank you for helping us keep all children in Birmingham safe and healthy.
