Health officials are urging parents to check their children have had two doses of the MMR vaccine, following an increase in measles cases.
Parents can check with their GP practice or in their child's red book to check if they have had the two MMR doses, and it's best to do so as soon as you can, as measles is a highly contagious infection. It usually starts with cold-like symptoms and a high temperature, later developing into a rash.
