About this episode

The episode discusses the surge of measles cases in England and the urgent need for vaccinations.

Measles is surging across England with 736 confirmed cases this year—already on track to beat last year’s total—and tragically, two children have died. London’s hit hardest, but cases are nationwide. With low vaccination rates leaving communities vulnerable, especially in more unequal areas, experts are sounding the alarm. Measles can be deadly, even fatal, and symptoms include red eyes, mouth spots, and a spreading rash. If you’re unvaccinated or unsure, get your MMR shot now—protecting your child and those too young or unable to be vaccinated. Don’t wait: check with your GP or call 111.
