England reported nearly 3,000 measles cases in 2024 - mostly in unvaccinated children. Cayman’s travel links make imported measles a real risk.

💬 "I have seen what measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases can do. I have also seen how dramatically that burden lifts when vaccines are widely used. Those memories stay with me, the sick children, the frightened faces, the grieving families. And I have seen the alternative, where hospital beds remain empty of these cases because children are protected." – Dr Sara Watkin

Vaccines save countless children in the UK, Cayman, and worldwide from preventable suffering. We must protect that achievement and hold all influential voices - not just clinicians, to rigorous standards.
