Measles vaccine Survey Report - Aug 2024
There were thirty responses from a variety of communities and backgrounds. The free text sections of the survey provided rich feedback from a grassroots level, telling the system what matters to residents and possible changes needed to increase vaccine uptake.
Questions asked about:
• Where people go for health advice about their child or children.
• Reasons why their child has not had the MMR vaccine.
• Changes needed to help residents decide about MMR vaccination.
Recommendations
1. Design and distribute an easy read leaflet with unbiased facts from trusted NHS organisations. Digital and printed resources so there is equity of access to health literature.
2. More vaccination clinics run from GP surgeries. Residents told us about the Importance of advice about their children from their GP surgery.
3. Increase weekend and evening appointments availability to give choice especially for working parents and guardians.
4. Joined up awareness raising campaign with posters, literature in schools and nurseries and details of local vaccination clinics.
5. More resources in different languages and both spoken and written formats.
