MMR Vaccination | Plaistow, Newham & East London
Measles cases are rising across the UK. If you are unsure whether you are protected, Newmans Pharmacy on Barking Road, E13 offers MMR vaccination for adults and catch-up doses for those who missed the childhood immunisation schedule conveniently serving Plaistow, Newham and Canning Town.
What Does the MMR Vaccine Protect Against?
The MMR vaccine provides combined protection against three highly contagious viral infections: measles, mumps and rubella (German measles). All three can cause serious complications, including brain damage, deafness and, in the case of rubella during pregnancy, severe birth defects. Two doses of the MMR vaccine provide lifelong immunity for the majority of people.
Who Needs an MMR Vaccination?
- Adults born before 1988 who may not have received both doses
- Anyone with an incomplete or uncertain vaccination history
- Women planning a pregnancy who need to confirm rubella immunity
- Travellers to countries with low MMR vaccination rates
- Healthcare workers and students in clinical settings
- Parents and carers of young children who have not completed the NHS schedule
MMR Vaccination at Newmans Pharmacy
Newmans Pharmacy provides private MMR vaccination and catch-up doses without a GP referral. Our pharmacists will review your vaccination history and, if records are unavailable, a catch-up dose is entirely safe even if you have received MMR previously.
Why is rubella vaccination important
Rubella infection during early pregnancy can cause serious birth defects (congenital rubella syndrome). Women planning pregnancy should confirm immunity before conception.
Vaccine Schedule
The vaccine is given as an injection into the upper arm. If two doses are required, the second is typically administered at least four weeks after the first. We maintain full records of vaccinations administered and can provide a certificate upon request.
| Age | Schedule | Booster Required | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adults & children over 6 months * | 2 doses: 0 and 1 month | No booster required; life-long protection | £30 |
