YOUNGSTERS across South Warwickshire are being warned to guard themselves against an outbreak of mumps that is sweeping the county.

Vaccination sessions are being organised at the Community Health Offices, Alcester Road, Stratford, on Saturday between noon - 5pm.

Cape Road Clinic in Cape Road, Warwick, is also offering jabs on Saturday, March 12, from10am-3pm and on Saturday, March 19, at Southam Clinic between 10am - 3pm.

Chiefs at South Warwickshire PCT say anyone is welcome to attend but 15 to 25 year olds are considered to be especially at risk because they missed out when the MMR vaccine was introduced in 1988.
