A Typical Rash from Measles on a child's back


[Parents in north London have been
told their children could be excluded
from school if they are not fully vaccinated
against measles amid an outbreak
of the highly-contagious disease.

Unvaccinated pupils identified as
close contacts of people with measles could
be excluded for 21 days in accordance
with national guidelines,
Enfield Council said in a letter
to all parents in the borough in late January.

At least 34 children have contracted measles
in Enfield so far this year,
the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has said,
and a number sent to hospital.

A local health chief meanwhile told
the BBC: "We are worried because actually,
this is a significantly increased number than
what we're used to."
Asking unvaccinated, close contacts of measles
cases to stay off school is fairly standard
practice when there are local outbreaks.

A local GP surgery said infections had been
confirmed in "at least" seven schools in Enfield
and neighbouring Haringey.]

Some parents spoke on the news
saying the School sent a form
but they did not sign it.
Being so busy etc.

I wonder how much of it is due to anti-vaxxers, rather than ... other causes?

You probably know this but .. apparently ethnic minority groups are falling behind on vaccines many just don’t trust the system
