“I Needed Herd Immunity” Mum Calls for Parents to Vaccinate Their Children | Good Morning Britain

Описание: The mother of a 6-year-old boy who died after contracting measles is supporting a new campaign by medical leaders urging parents to get their children vaccinated against the disease. Gemma Larkman-Jones from London lost her son, Samuel after he developed a rare form of brain inflammation from catching measles.

The UK Health Security Agency is warning that measles is spreading among unvaccinated communities. The agency is spearheading a "national call to action". Pop-up clinics are being introduced to get more children vaccinated as cases continue to rise. The UKHSA has also declared the measles outbreak a national incident, allowing it to put more resources into tackling the problem.
