MMR Vaccination Programme Posted or Updated on 27 Feb 2024

You may well be aware via national media reports of the current Measles outbreak in the UK.

In response to this, a targeted number of local pharmacies will shortly be offering the MMR vaccine to children aged from 5 to 11 who are overdue an MMR vaccination.

These pharmacies have been selected due to their experience in the COVID children’s vaccination programme

The Broadway Pharmacy, Unit 13, Market Walk, Chorley, PR7 1DE is only pharmacy in the immediate area covered by our surgeries which has been chosen to take part in the scheme.

The facility is the same site recently used in the Covid vaccination programme.

However patients in some parts of our area, in particular those registered at our Lostock Hall and Croston surgeries, may like to note that AS Facer Pharmacy, 66 Liverpool Road, Longton, Preston, PR4 5PB and Aspire Pharmacy, Unit 131, The Concourse Shopping Centre, Southway, Skelmersdale, Lancashire, WN8 6LN, are also taking part in the scheme.

This is a walk in offer only and at this stage none of our surgeries will be actively calling patients in to the pharmacy. 

It is expected the arrangement will be in operation by early March and we will advise as soon as further details are received.
