I received a letter today from the local council about the measles outbreak.All schools, childminders, nurseries etc would have got the same thing. There was a letter enclosed to be given to all parents. It basically states that children over 12 months who have not had the MMR should have it ASAP, and children who have only had one dose should arrange to have the second dose (usually given between 3 and 5 years but can be given earlier) as it will improve their level of protection.
Has anyone else been sent anything like this?
Do I just need to give the letter to parents and leave it at that?
I have 2 mindees over 12 months and both have had their first dose, as has my son. My other mindee is 7 months so hasn't had it yet.
I'm not sure if maybe I should call the doctors tomorrow and ask about my son having the second dose? He's 28 months old. I'm not keen on subjecting him to more jabs but at the same time I obviously don't want him to get ill! He catches everything, his immune system is rubbish like mine! :panic:
