In light of the measles outbreak, could we have someone on for a webchat?

There are a bundle of threads today discussing the implications of the measles outbreak, both in UK and in mainland Europe.

I know that it is a contentious topic, but would it be possible to have someone from a government agency on for a webchat to advise worried parents.

Constant themes are, for example:

- child has had first MMR shot, not due booster for XX months. Can I travel to France?

- baby not yet old enough for MMR, can we bring it forward?

etc.

The next weeks are going to be worrying for parents in UK, would be good to have an "official" statement and reassurance.
