Parents and carers are being warned that their children should have up to date immunisations this winter including polio and measles, as they may face "serious health risks" if not.
According to a new Government update, the UK's chief medical advisors are urging parents to ensure their kids have the latest childhood immunisations, including polio and measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccinations.
The warning comes after new data by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) shows vaccination coverage for young children last year fell for virtually all programmes, reports the Liverpool Echo.
