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. Two of these are specifically aimed at parents/carers of children starting primary school (Asset 1) and secondary school (Asset 2) this August.
- Click here to download the social media assets. You’ll be able to download these for Facebook, Instagram or Twitter depending what social media platforms your school uses.
- Click here to view the social media toolkit. You’ll see wording which can be posted alongside the asset on your chosen social media platform.
We hope you can share these assets on your social media channels and use the hashtag #DontLetMeasles. Please don’t forward this email on to parents or carers.
