🆕 We’ve published our monthly update on measles in England, showing 109 cases in April and 86 so far in May. With cases predominantly in unvaccinated children 10 and under, and a global rise in cases, we’re concerned summer travels could lead to another surge in the UK.
A quote card from Dr Vanessa Saliba, Consultant Epidemiologist at the UK Health Security Agency:.

"It’s essential that everyone, particularly parents of young children, check all family members are up to date with 2 MMR doses, especially if you are travelling this summer for holidays or visiting family. 

Measles cases are picking up again in England and outbreaks are happening in Europe and many countries with close links to the UK."
