Hall Green Families, supported by Sparkbrook Children’s Zone (SCZ) Dr Fran Dutton, hosted a briefing for staff working in schools across the Hall Green locality. This briefing was in response to the rising number of measles cases in the Sparkbrook ward.
The Hall Green Families Early Help Team, along with health practitioners from Sparkbrook Children’s Zone, and staff working with Birmingham and Solihull ICB strongly encourage families and individuals living across Birmingham to book their MMR vaccinations. Making safe and informed decisions about our health, and the health of our children and families, is paramount.
