Measles Surge: UK & Greater Manchester Vaccination Rates Plummet

Measles cases surge in the UK, with over four hundred confirmed this year, as vaccination rates plummet below the crucial ninety-five percent threshold for herd immunity. The disease, which can cause severe complications, has seen a resurgence since 2023, with Englands children lagging behind in their vaccination rates. Greater Manchester boroughs, such as Manchester and Salford, have particularly low rates, with Manchester at eighty-six percent for the first dose and seventy-four point five percent full. Experts attribute the drop to access barriers, inequality, and online misinformation, but the solution is clear: ensure children receive their two doses before school or catch up at their GP. The NHS is advocating for earlier second shots at eighteen months to combat this growing issue.
