"Urgent Call for Measles Vaccination to Prevent Rapid Spread, Warns UK Health Chief"
The head of the UK Health Security Agency has warned of a potential rapid spread of measles across the country due to low vaccination rates, with over 200 confirmed cases in the West Midlands. Pop-up clinics are being introduced to increase vaccination rates, as the agency declares the measles outbreak a national incident. The MMR jab, delivered in two doses, is recommended to prevent the highly contagious disease, and efforts are being made to improve access to vaccinations, especially in areas with low uptake.
