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.
