We've seen a couple of cases of measles this week.
It is actually so much nastier than you think it is going to be...
The last time we had an outbreak must have been 6 or 7 years ago and then I think 2 of the 6 or so cases ended up in hospital with complications.
We do have an MMR catch-up going on at the moment. If you'd like your child immunised then please contact the nurses' administrator to discuss on 860312 from 9am til 10.
I gather from a patient that Mumps is about in her Uni class in Plymouth as well.
It is worth noting as well that at this time of year we often see skin rashes relating to the spring "burst" of UV in the sunlight.
Exposed areas of skin like tops of ears and lips seem to suffer most.
We do also see shingles at this time of year as the UV seems to set that off in some people too...
