"Urgent Call for Vaccination as Measles Outbreak Sparks National Health Incident"

Gemma Larkman-Jones, a mother from London, is urging parents to vaccinate their children after her son, Samuel, died from a rare form of brain inflammation caused by measles. The UK Health Security Agency has warned of measles outbreaks in parts of London, emphasizing the need for a "national call to action" to address dropping vaccination rates. Larkman-Jones believes Samuel's death could have been prevented if he had received the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) jab, and hopes that sharing her story will raise awareness about the risks of measles and the importance of vaccination.
