The Prime Minister has ordered urgent action to boost the number of children and young people receiving vaccinations following a rise in cases of measles. There were 231 confirmed cases of measles in the UK during the first quarter of 2019, and Britain has lost its measles-free status with the World Health Organisation (WHO) three years after the virus was eliminated in the country.

His comments come as Public Health England revealed today one in seven five-year-olds in England may not have had both of their MMR jabs. In London, the figure rises to around one in four children (right). Original Article:
