Spring MMR vaccination clinics
11 March 2024
Children and teenagers who have missed out on their Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccines can get protected at a spring catch-up clinic.
Run by Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust’s (KCHFT) School-aged Immunisation Service, the catch-up offer follows one run over the recent half-term and is part of ongoing efforts by Kent and Medway health leaders to drive up MMR vaccination rates following a national rise in measles cases
It also supports the England-wide UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and NHS England childhood immunisation campaign
With measles outbreaks ongoing in London and the West Midlands, and cases now confirmed in every region of England, including the South East, there are concerns the highly-infectious disease will keep on spreading unless more people are vaccinated.
