Hi,
Welcome to the May EYO
Newsletter.
Are we facing a Measles Epidemic?
Hundreds
of children have been hit by the worst outbreak of measles in more than 10
years with 160 cases reported in Wales and four nursery school children needing
hospital treatment. Continued fears over the safety of the MMR jab has meant
many parents are failing to vaccinate their kids against this childhood
infection. Currently only around 85%
of kids in England and Wales have had the jab, with Welsh research suggesting
that in some areas as few as 15% of children have received it. Read more from
