Public Health England is urging the public to ensure that they have received two doses of the MMR vaccine after it was revealed that there were more than 913 cases of measles between January the 1st and October 31st 2018, compared to the 259 that occurred across the whole of 2017.
The ‘steep rise’ has been linked to outbreaks in Europe and reduced rates of vaccine adherence.
