Video text: 

Measles spreads easily and can cause serious illnesses, including pneumonia and meningitis. A rash and high fever could be an indication of measles, so if you have suspicions see a doctor straight away.

If your children have not had the MMR vaccine, you should get them immunised as soon as possible. The vaccine is safe and effective, protecting your child against measles, mumps and rubella. Speak to your GP to get them vaccinated.

Measles can also spread in adults, so you too should get vaccinated. And if you come into close contact with someone who has developed measles, then you should seek medical help as your GP can offer you some protection against developing severe illness.

Measles is serious, so take steps today to get your children vaccinated and check out more information at www.nhs.uk/measles.

NHS North West London hosted a London-wide GP webinar on the topic of measles and MMR vaccinations on 21 February 2024. This content is aimed at GPs and medical professionals.

What should parents look out for?

It’s always concerning when a child is unwell. GAS infections cause various symptoms such as sore throat, fever, chills and muscle aches.

As a parent, if you feel that your child seems seriously unwell, you should trust your own judgement.

Contact NHS 111 or your GP if:

  • your child is getting worse
  • your child is feeding or eating much less than normal
  • your child has had a dry nappy for 12 hours or more or shows other signs of dehydration
  • your baby is under 3 months and has a temperature of 38C, or is older than 3 months and has a temperature of 39C or higher
  • your baby feels hotter than usual when you touch their back or chest, or feels sweaty
  • your child is very tired or irritable

Call 999 or go to A&E if:

  • your child is having difficulty breathing – you may notice grunting noises or their tummy sucking under their ribs
  • there are pauses when your child breathes
  • your child’s skin, tongue or lips are blue
  • your child is floppy and will not wake up or stay awake
