A short film, produced by the Clinical Effectiveness Group at Queen Mary University of London, aimed at educating parents in Tower Hamlets about the MMR vaccine has been released. It provides valuable insights and personal stories to help families make informed decisions. The film chronicles the journey of parents grappling with the choice of vaccinating their children, addressing prevalent concerns, and debunking myths—particularly the false link between the vaccine and autism.
The release of this film comes at a crucial time as conversations surrounding childhood vaccinations continue to evolve. Parents are encouraged to attend a community screening event on Wednesday, 2 October, 12-1pm, at Harford Health Centre, 115 Harford Street, London E1 4FG.
This event will showcase the film and feature a Q&A session with healthcare professionals who will be available to answer questions and provide evidence-based information about the MMR vaccine.
This initiative aims to empower parents with knowledge, ensuring they feel confident in their decisions regarding their children’s health. The film emphasizes the importance of vaccinations in protecting not just individual children but the wider community as well.
