Vaccination is important for children to keep healthy and well, and a range of vaccinations are given throughout childhood. The MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps and rubella. Measles has been found in children in the Cardiff area in the last few weeks, and it can cause serious illness, and the best way to prevent further spread is ensuring children are vaccinated. The vaccine is quick, safe and effective. For more information about measles visit the Public Health Wales website and for more information about vaccinations visit the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board's website or NHS 111 Wales - Homepage.
