Published 5 days, 14 hours ago
Description
Measles cases surge in North London, with sixteen new cases in Enfield and ten in Haringey. Brent Council is collaborating with local communities to promote vaccinations, as vaccination rates remain low. The disease, which spreads through coughs, sneezes, or contaminated surfaces, poses a significant risk to young children, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems. Enfield Council has warned of potential school exclusions for unvaccinated children exposed to cases. Health leaders emphasize the effectiveness of the NHS vaccine, which provides ninety-nine percent lifelong protection with two doses.
