Almost a million young adults are being invited for an MMR jab in one of the biggest vaccine catch-up drives in NHS history.
Part of the so-called ‘Wakefield Generation’, many born in the late 1990s and early 2000s missed out on the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine when they were children.
Now health officials are targeting the 19-to-25-year-olds using pop-up vaccination clinics at universities, sports centres and other public places in areas with ongoing measles outbreaks.
Latest data from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) shows signs the outbreak is slowing, with 733 cases of measles having now been confirmed in England.
