Parents are being urged to get their children vaccinated against measles as cases of the potentially deadly disease appear to be on the rise.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned there is an "epidemic" of measles and has raised concerns that a dip in vaccination uptake during the Covid-19 pandemic could be behind a rise in cases compared to what would usually be expected in the first two months of the year.
Problems with accessing care and questions over vaccination which arose during the pandemic could have led to fewer people getting the jab, it suggested.
