I don't believe in vaccinations for children because after my 1st son had his mmr he was different he has recently been diagnosed with autism and there is a lot of people who say the same happened when their children were vaccinated the reason I'm asking is I'm now pregnant and was wondering have you got to have your child vaccinated Hmm

500,000 children is a terrifying number of children who are unvaccinated, and through no fault of their own putting every other child they spend time with at risk.

Every week on skynews I am reading about another university or area which has been placed under quarantine due to a measles outbreak.
This is something that shouldn’t be happening when in 2016 measles was eradicated in the U.K.
There are young babies and immunocompromised people who can not protect themselves against this deadly disease, please help me make this a mandatory vaccination.

One headline I read today could not have been more accurate in its portrayal of this subject, the measles vaccine is not a choice, it is a social responsibility, one far too many have forgotten about and therefore putting a lot of people at risk.

Please help me by signing this petition, it doesn’t cost a thing. I need more signatures to show our health secretary this is something which is needed so we can protect those who can’t speak for themselves.
France and Germany have both put this in place to protect their citizens, why haven’t we.

Belle82 please name one! As far as UK government figures for current measles reports are concerned there have been very few measles cases.

and through no fault of their own putting every other child they spend time with at risk.
How, if the vast majority of children are vaccinated, are they putting every other child they spend time at risk of measles? How many of the 500000 unvaccinated kids have measles and how many vaccinated kids have measles? That's the important question.

www.gov.uk/government/news/measles-outbreaks-across-england

There were 913 confirmed cases in the first 10 months of 2018.

Globally it's way up.

Measles cases quadruple globally in 2019, says UN

As long you you allow travel from other countries you are at risk of more outbreaks as vaccination rates fall.
