A rare surge of Victorian-era diseases - including scabies, tuberculosis and diphtheria - have occurred in the UK in recent months.
The three diseases were responsible for almost 10,000 hospitalisations in 2022 alone, which has been largely linked with a decrease in vaccinations.
The Mirror reports that teenagers were seven per cent less likely to get vaccinated against diseases from the Victorian era in 2022, according to NHS Digital data. The condition of measles is one in particular that spreads easily among people, and can lead to serious complications if left untreated.
