More than 60 children have been infected with a ‘fast-spreading’ measles outbreak in London, with several in hospital. Cases have been reported across seven schools and a nursery in Enfield, where uptake of the MMRV vaccine is among the lowest in the country. According to UK Health Security, 91.9% of five-year-olds had received one dose of the MMR vaccine in 2024-25, which is the lowest level since 2010-11.
