Breakspear has this message on their website: IMPORTANT: GSK, the manufacturer of the MenB vaccine, has requested that no new patients are to be given the Bexsero® vaccine due to a vaccine shortage which will hopefully be resolved by June 2016. If you would like to be put on the waiting list, call our Immunisation Department: 01442 261 333 Ext 225 or use our online form: contact us.
One of our parents writes - Hi all, does anyone have recommendations for clinics that provide single vaccinations for measles and rubella, instead of the MMR? Thanks in advance, if anyone can help!

Long way away but when I lived in herts we took my son to Breakspear medical ctr, wood lane, Hemel Hempstead, herts, hp2 4 fd, tel 01442 261 333 thoroughly recommend. Obviously when I had my daughter they don't offer the mumps vaccination but just rubella and measles. Hope that helps
Just noticed this short article written by Dr Sarah Jarvis on patient.co.uk. It talks about prevention mainly. Again quite an emphasis on the rash, and suggestion of seeing your doctor if you've had a tick attached for more than 24 hrs. I don't know how many doctors would give antibiotics for a tick bite?
Advice Please – Pre-school booster of the MMR Jab, - can you pay privately to have a blood test to determine if you actually need the booster ? – if so does anyone know where I could get this done for my daughter who is due the booster.
