A high street retailer in Glasgow has become the first to offer vaccinations for MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella).

Superdrug on Sauchiehall Street and in Buchanan Galleries will now be offering customers the service in its clinics.

The store is offering the vaccination service to those who are 18 years old and over and who are not currently vaccinated.

The vaccination is available at £55 per dose, and two doses - at least four weeks apart - are recommended to give heightened immune protection.

Ideally, the vaccination course should be completed at least two weeks before travel.

Currently the MMR vaccination is advised for travel to the majority of Asia, Africa, India and South America.

More recently, there have also been outbreaks of measles in developed countries such as Australia, US, Canada, New Zealand and several European countries including the UK.

The retailer have added the MMR vaccine to make it easier for people to stay healthy while travelling or working/living abroad and for UK nationals studying in the US, the MMR vaccination is recommended.
