Infection prevention and control

Measles is an infection that spreads very easily and can cause serious problems in some people. Having the MMRV or MMR vaccine is the best way to prevent it.

Antibiotics are key to modern medicine and treatment. However, an increasing number of common infections are becoming resistant to the medicines designed to treat them. This is referred to as antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

MRSA stands for Meticillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Find out more information about MRSA.
