– UKHSA nudges festival-goers to get MMR vaccines:
UK Health Security Agency (“UKHSA”) is pushing for festival-goers to get two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (“MMR”) vaccine. “We’re seeing outbreaks of measles. Check you’ve had 2 doses of the #MMR vaccine for the full protection,” UKHSA tweeted yesterday.
However, Dr, Clare Craig pointed out that currently the number of measles cases is half of those for the same week in 2019. Considering the risk of harm from vaccines, we need to weigh the pros and cons and ask ourselves which health risks we’re willing to take to protect ourselves against any given disease.
