#PlymGrad well done brother from Juneau and Kerris x

#PlymGrad Congratulations Kyle, proud of you!!👏

Published today, our latest data shows continued high levels of measles cases, amid fears of a further surge once the new school term begins. Two doses of the #MMR vaccine gives the best protection against #measles. Book your child's vaccine appointment today 💉

A blotchy, sometimes raised, rash is one of the signs of #Measles. It’s not usually itchy, and it can look different on different skin tones. 🧒🏼🔴🧒🏾 If you think you or your child has measles, contact your GP practice urgently or call NHS 111. 📞

LATEST #NOROVIRUS DATA: Although norovirus levels have stabilised over the last few weeks, they are still more than double the five-season average. Full report 🔗 gov.uk/government/sta…

Did you see our latest #Norovirus data? Cases are still increasing: 23.5% higher than the previous 2-week period and largely seen in those over 65. 📈 See the full report here 👇 gov.uk/government/sta…

Self care is so important 💕

🧼 #Norovirus spreads easily, washing your hands regularly with soap and warm water can help limit the spread 🏠 You remain infectious for 48 hours after symptoms stop and should stay home at this time 🔄 Just because you’ve had norovirus once doesn’t mean you won’t get it again

Do you have diarrhoea, vomiting or 'flu-like' symptoms? If so, it could be norovirus. If you have been unwell with norovirus, please don’t visit loved ones in hospital until you're 48 hours symptom free. You could be putting others at risk #DontPassItOn
