Measles and MMR Vaccines

The HSE is urging parents to make sure children are up to date with their MMR vaccines before travelling outside of Ireland this summer as measles cases are rising internationally. The MMR vaccine, which is safe and effective, protects against measles cases and outbreaks. Two doses of MMR vaccine are needed for a child to be fully protected. Information about this campaign can be accessed here, and further information about the MMR Vaccine can be accessed here.
