MMR vaccination uptake

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the NHS are calling on parents and carers to ensure their children are up to date with the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, and all other routine childhood immunisations; the latest data shows that the MMR vaccination uptake has dropped to the lowest level in a decade. In BSW there are many 12–18-year-olds who have not yet received both doses of the MMR vaccine – it is not too late for older children to have these vaccines.
