UK Health Officials Warn of Potential Measles Surge as School Year Begins

Parents urged to vaccinate children to prevent outbreaks of measles and other serious diseases.

Health experts emphasize the importance of MMR vaccination to protect against measles, mumps, and rubella.
Recent data shows an increase in measles cases, with over 2,000 confirmed in England this year.
The UK Health Security Agency has launched a campaign to boost vaccination rates before the new term.
Parents are reminded that unvaccinated children are at higher risk of severe illness and complications.
Efforts have led to thousands more children receiving vaccinations, but coverage is still below target.
