❗ | Liverpool steps up vaccination drive after UK loses measles elimination status

📈 The UK has now lost its measles elimination status, after a sharp rise in cases last year. Measles is highly infectious and can cause serious illness. In Merseyside we saw a significant increase in cases in 2024, with several children needing care at Alder Hey, and sadly, one child losing their life.

Falling vaccination rates have left too many children at risk. In Liverpool, 1 in 4 five‑year‑olds aren’t fully protected with the 2 MMR doses needed to stop measles spreading.

💉 Need an MMR vaccine?
You can get vaccinated without an appointment on the Living Well Bus.

The more people vaccinated within a community, the harder it is for the virus to spread.
