Measles case confirmed in north Wales

Early symptoms of the disease include a high temperature, cough, runny nose and painful, red eyes.

Small white spots inside the mouth can also be a sign, according to PHW.

It said the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine was the best way to protect young children and babies against the disease, while older children and adults could get vaccinated if they were not jabbed when they were younger.

PHW said: “If you think you or your child may have missed an MMR vaccine please check your vaccination record by asking your GP or checking your child’s red book.

“If you are not up to date with your MMR vaccine please make an appointment with your GP practice as soon as possible.”
