Welsh health minister considering options for compulsory vaccination as UK measles cases hit record high
Children should only be allowed to start school if they have been vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella, a leading public health expert has said as measles cases in the UK hit a record high.
Sir Sandy Macara, former chairman of the British Medical Association, will tell doctors later this month that a vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella – known as the MMR jab – should be compulsory for all children starting school.
His comments come as the Welsh health minister revealed she is exploring whether to make the vaccination compulsory for school and nursery entry.
