There is an increasing number of people with measles in Birmingham. Most of these are young children who have not had their MMR (measles) vaccine.
Measles is a highly infectious disease, which can be very serious. Two doses of the MMR vaccine is the best protection against measles. Over 80% of Birmingham children and adults have had the MMR vaccine. We need everyone protected.
The MMR vaccine is safe for every faith. There is a type of MMR vaccine that does not contain pork gelatine, so it can be used for people who do not touch any pork products. This vaccine is available at every GP practice, and it is free.
We hope this email finds you well. We are thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity for your child to enhance their swimming skills and enjoy a nutritious breakfast before school.

We understand the importance of water safety and swimming skills, and we want to offer a fantastic program to support your child's development in this area. If your child is a non-swimmer and is in Years 2-6, we encourage you to bring them to our Swimming and Water Safety Breakfast Club. Not only will they receive free swimming lessons, but they will also have the opportunity to enjoy a complimentary breakfast to kick-start their day.
This program is a wonderful chance for your child to build confidence in the water and develop essential water safety skills. We have experienced instructors who are dedicated to providing quality lessons in a safe and friendly environment.
Please ensure your child comes prepared with their swimwear and enthusiasm for learning. We believe this program will not only enhance their swimming abilities but also promote a healthy and active lifestyle.
If you'd like to register your child for this program or have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to seeing your child at the Swimming and Water Safety Breakfast Club, where they can learn, have fun, and start the day with a nutritious meal.
