Dear Parent / Carer

Re: Measles, Chicken Pox and Shingles

Please may we ask for your co-operation in this important matter.

One of our pupils is receiving medical treatment for a tumour that puts them at risk from measles, chicken pox and shingles. If they come into contact with anyone suffering from these conditions the pupil requires to be given some protection against them. Unfortunately this has to be given within 72 hours of the contact.

We would ask you therefore that if your child develops measles, chicken pox or shingles that you inform us immediately so that appropriate action may be taken.

Your child is not at any risk from this situation; however the health of our pupil does depend on your co-operation in this important matter.
