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.

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.
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.
Rubella infection during early pregnancy can cause serious birth defects (congenital rubella syndrome). Women planning pregnancy should confirm immunity before conception.
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.
