A week of walk-in clinics will run during half term to help families catch up with missed vaccinations.
Running throughout the February half term (February 19-25), the clinics will offer vaccines for Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), HPV, meningitis ACWY and diphtheria, tetanus and polio.
It comes amid a spike in measles cases across England, with more than one in ten children across England at risk of catching the disease without both doses of the MMR vaccine.
Dr Fiona Head, chief medical officer of NHS Cambridgeshire & Peterborough, part of Cambridgeshire & Peterborough ICS said: “We’re running these walk-in clinics during half term to give as many families as possible the chance to catch up on any vaccinations they might have missed.
"With measles cases rising nationally, it’s vital we ensure we do all we can to ensure our local communities are protected and up to date with their vaccinations.”
Different age groups are eligible for certain vaccines. Apart from this, there aren't any other requirements.
