Dr Vanessa Saliba, consultant epidemiologist at UKHSA, said: “The measles outbreak in the West Midlands continues to be a concern.
“MMR vaccine uptake has been falling over the last decade with one out of 10 children starting school in England not protected. Measles is highly infectious and there is a real risk it will spread to other areas.
“Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself and your children. I strongly urge parents to take up the offer as soon as possible and protect their child now.”
