MMR & Pertussis vaccination clinic - Belvoir Shopping Centre

Coalville, LE67 3XA

MMR is a safe and effective combined vaccine that protects against three illnesses, measles, mumps and rubella (German measles) in a single injection.

This drop-in clinic offers free measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccinations for those not yet protected.

The full course of MMR vaccination requires two doses.

It’s never too late to have your MMR vaccine, even as an adult. You can check if you and your partner are vaccinated at your GP surgery.

This drop-in clinic also offers free Whooping Cough (Pertussis) vaccination if:

  • You are pregnant (16 weeks or more)
  • You have a baby of 2 months old or less and you didn’t have the pertussis vaccination during pregnancy
  • You are over 10 years old and someone in your household has whooping cough.

Whooping cough is an infection of the lungs and breathing tubes, which spreads very easily and can be serious. Having the vaccine in pregnancy helps to protect your baby in their first few weeks of life. It is important to have this in each pregnancy.
