Cases of measles in school

My DS son has seen two cases of measles. In nursery but apparently they have siblings in different year groups. Children who are immuneocomprised are being told to have three weeks off. Parents are keeping their kids off now due to various things. school is stopping mass gatherings such as assemblies. Should we worry?

What we should worry about is the parents who put their children at risk by not immunising them

And the immunocompromised children and parents who have little choice….

Why would you worry? Presumably your DC is vaccinated?
