Measles                                     & when to see your GP
You should contact your GP as soon as possible if you suspect that you or your child may have measles.
Please telephone before your appointment as  we may need to make arrangements to reduce the risk of spreading the infection to others. 
You should also contact us if you have been  with someone who has measles and you haven't:
•	been fully vaccinated with 2 doses of the MMR vaccine
•	had the infection before
You should do this even if you don't have any symptoms.
If you are unsure of you or your child’s vaccination history please speak to one of our nurses.
