If you think you have measles, do NOT attend the surgery in person; CALL us on 052 7441364 or Caredoc on 0818 300 365.

The full course of MMR vaccine offers good protection against measles for 99% of people. To check your vaccination status you can call your local Immunisation Office. 

Measles is a highly infectious viral illness. Measles starts with cold-like symptoms that develop about 10 days after you get infected. You will then get a measles rash a few days later.

The illness usually lasts 7 to 10 days.
