WHO WARNS 45-Fold Rise in Measles Cases Across Europe & Continues to Spread
Measles: UK Health Authorities on Alert After Alarming Rise' in Cases Across Europe
Warning over 'alarming' 45-fold rise in measles cases across Europe as WHO chiefs urge parents to make sure kids have had both MMR jabs before going on holiday BBC 31 JAN 2024 Measles cases are rising at an 'alarming' rate across Europe, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned. Global health leaders said there has been a 45-fold increase on the continent, with international travel threatening to further the spread. More than 42,000 cases were reported by member states in 2023, compared with 941 cases in the whole of 2022. They said cases had 'accelerated in recent months' and urged parents to make sure children are fully vaccinated before going abroad. It comes after the UK declared a 'national incident', launching its own campaigns to encourage parents to take millions of children for the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Latest UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) data shows there were 1,603 suspected measles cases in England and Wales in 2023. The figure is more than twice as high as the 735 logged in 2022 and an almost five-fold rise compared to the 360 cases reported in 2021 |
