Protect your baby from measles with 2 doses of measles vaccine.
1️⃣ In countries where measles is common, it is vital to give the first dose around 9 months of age; in other countries, at 12-15 months of age.
2️⃣ Give the second dose later in childhood to ensure full protection.
Remember: Infants can be vaccinated around 6 months of age if there is an outbreak or before travel to endemic countries.

Jo's story show's the importance of getting vaccinated against RSV during pregnancy. 👶
It reduces the risk of severe RSV lung infection, such as bronchiolitis, by 80% in a baby's first months of life, significantly lowering the chance of hospital admission.
Jo Goldsmith's daughter Phoebe caught RSV, a virus that affects someone's respiratory system, when she was just days old. Now she's a thriving three-year-old but mum Jo told ITV News of the lasting terror that experience has left her with. She's joined calls for more people to take up the RSV jab, which is free for pregnant people, over-75s and now over-65s with immunosuppression or chronic respiratory disease.
