Healthwatch H&F marks World Immunisation Week 2024 with community outreach event
Healthwatch H&F is marking World Immunisation Week with a community outreach event to provide residents with more information about vaccines and give children the opportunity to get their MMR vaccines if required.
World Immunisation Week starts today, 24 April - 30 April 2024.
Immunisation is essential for protecting individuals and communities from vaccine-preventable diseases, saving lives, and promoting global health and well-being.
To mark the important occasion, Healthwatch H&F, Canberra Old Oak Surgery and QPR in the Community Trust have partnered together to give parents and families in the local area the chance to ask questions and talk to Canberra Old Oak surgery staff and Healthwatch H&F about why vaccines are important to protect children against Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR). Any child still in need of MMR vaccines can also get them on the day.
Particularly with measles cases still high in London, it is even more vital for local people to ensure that their children are protected.
