Description

The MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) jab vaccinates against some of the world's most infectious diseases, but the number of children getting the vaccine has fallen during the pandemic. With more than one in ten children in England starting school without having been jabbed, what does history tell us about this vaccination, why have uptake rates fallen, and what are the future implications. This is The Overview. Presented by Julia O'Driscoll with The Week's Kari Wilkin and guests Helen Bedford, Professor of Children's Health at UCL and Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, and Helen Donovan, Royal College of Nursing's Public Health Lead.
