SUPPORT FOR PARENTS AND FAMILIES

Protect your family against measles

As you will be aware, there are rising cases of measles across London and in our borough.  To make it easier for you to get vaccinations, the GP Federation have created a self-booking page for Measles vaccinations, allowing B&D registered patients to book appointments with the nurse at the weekday evenings and weekends at our Hubs.
