As children return to classrooms and playgrounds, ensuring their immunisations are up to date is more important than ever. At Lichfield Travel Clinic, we provide MMR vaccinations to protect against measles, mumps, and rubella — three highly contagious illnesses that can spread quickly in schools.

Why MMR Matters

• Measles: Can cause serious complications such as pneumonia and meningitis.
• Mumps: Often leads to swollen glands, fever, and in some cases, hearing loss.
• Rubella (German measles): Especially dangerous for pregnant women, as it can harm unborn babies.

These illnesses spread easily in crowded environments like classrooms, making vaccination essential.

Who Needs the MMR Vaccine?

• Children: Typically given in two doses — first at 12–13 months, and the second before starting school (3 years and 4 months).
• Teenagers & Adults: Anyone who hasn’t received two doses should catch up.

The Back-to-School Connection

As children mix with new classmates after the holidays, there’s a higher chance of exposure to infectious diseases. Ensuring their vaccines are up to date helps:

• Protect your child
• Prevent outbreaks in schools
• Safeguard vulnerable people in the community

Why Choose Lichfield Travel Clinic?

• Friendly, professional clinicians
• Quick and convenient appointments
• Peace of mind for parents before school begins
