"London Faces Major Measles Outbreak Risk, Warns Health Security Agency"

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has warned that London is at risk of a major measles outbreak, with the potential for tens of thousands of cases if MMR vaccination rates do not improve. Fresh analysis suggests that the capital could experience an outbreak of between 40,000 and 160,000 cases, which could result in dozens of deaths and thousands of hospitalizations. Measles cases have been steadily rising this year, with 66% of the cases detected in London. The UKHSA is urging parents to ensure their children are fully vaccinated with two doses of the MMR vaccine, and the NHS has launched a national campaign to encourage uptake.
