Over 500,000 kids miss their MMR jab as social media scare stories fuel parents’ fears

In 1998 Dr Andrew Wakefield claimed there was a link between the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine and autism.Subsequent studies have found no link but people still spread fake scare stories.

Unicef warns more kids are left unprotected against the virus, and says “fear or scepticism about vaccines” is behind some of the fall in uptake. Children should have two doses of the jab to be protected, with the World Health Organisation setting a target of 95 per cent coverage. Unicef estimate 169million children worldwide missed the first dose of the measles jab between 2010 and 2017, with 527,000 in the UK.Prostitute who earns £2,000 a week reveals the average penis size ... and how much she enjoys workHAPPY ST PADDY'S DAYGirl, 11, in agony after shampoo left her scalp burning and her hair 'fused' togetherWinter bugbearUptake of both jabs by the age of five has fallen in England for four years in a row, from 88.6 per cent in 2014-15 to 87.
