** MMR Vaccinations in Ware
------------------------------------------------------------
Is your child vaccinated?
MMR vaccinations are available over the Easter holidays in Ware. The MMR vaccine gives long-term protection against measles, mumps and rubella.
These 3 infections spread easily between people and can lead to serious problems including meningitis, blindness and hearing loss.
Getting vaccinated also helps protect people who cannot be vaccinated, such as unborn babies, newborn babies and anyone with a weakened immune system.
The MMR vaccine is recommended for all babies and young children, but older children and adults can have it if they were not vaccinated when they were younger.
