Health chiefs are urging those who are eligible for a measles vaccine to get the jab as soon as possible. It comes as measles cases surged across the country, prompting the Health Security Agency to declare a “national incident”. Sky News spoke to one woman who became seriously ill from the disease. She had not been vaccinated as a child because of her mother’s fears the MMR jab caused autism – a theory that has since been disproved.
