Measles is a highly contagious disease and can lead to serious complications, including pneumonia, encephalitis, and ear infections. It is strongly recommended to organise a measles MMR vaccine if you have not already received two doses of immunisation. This is particularly the case if you work in the healthcare field or are regularly in close proximity to children. Mumps is a viral infection that affects the salivary glands, often resulting in swelling. Symptoms include fever, pain when chewing or swallowing, fatigue, loss of appetite, and muscle aches. However, the condition often has no symptoms in the early stages. Children are prone to the condition, but it still has the potential to affect adults.
