MMR Clinics
Vaccination clinics have been set up in Walsall to ensure children are up to date with their measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.
The DTP vaccine, which provides protection against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough) and the MenACWY vaccine, which helps protect against meningitis and septicaemia (blood poisoning), are also available at these clinics. Both vaccines are given to children aged 13 or 14 (school year 9 or 10).
Parents and guardians of children who have missed or delayed one of these childhood vaccines are being encouraged to come forward. Appointments can be booked by calling 01922 902035.
