MMR Against Measles
In some parts of the UK and Europe, there’s been an increase in the number of people getting measles. Measles is one of the most highly infectious diseases and can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening complications. Fortunately, there's a free measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine available which is highly effective in protecting you and your child against measles.
To help raise awareness, Public Health Scotland has developed a social media toolkit with assets and suggested captions aimed at:
- parents of children starting primary or secondary school this August
- young people planning on attending festivals this summer or going to college or university
- young people and families planning on travelling outwith Scotland this summer
All the resources, sized for different channels, are available to download here.
It would be great if you could regularly feed these social media assets into your planned activity using the hashtag #DontLetMeasles.
