The ten areas with the lowest vaccination rate against measles in England are all in London, figures reveal, as a GP warned that “misinformation and complacency” was behind a fall in uptake of the jab.
Analysis by the Standard found that children living in Hackney (60 per cent), Kensington and Chelsea (60.7 per cent) and Westminster (61 per cent) had the lowest rate of MMR vaccination of any local authority. More than a third of children were unprotected against measles in the three boroughs as of September last year.
