In the UK, apart from the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella)
vaccine which is the only measles containing vaccine with UK marketing
authorisation (i.e. a product license), all other measles containing vaccines
do not have a UK marketing authorisation. The single measles vaccine we
use has a marketing authorisation in Switzerland and is imported for us under
UK regulations by one of the most established medicine importers in the UK.
We have been using the same single measles vaccine for several years in
our clinic. We only offer this vaccines to people who have adamantly refused /
cannot be given the MMR.
We have no single or combination of mumps and/or rubella
vaccines.
To be able to guarantee the supply of this vaccine for you,
we have to charge you in advance when you book your appointment over the
phone; this is £150 in total for each dose per appointment.
