Labour says in-home vaccinations should be offered to combat a spike in measles cases. Deprived areas of the West Midlands, particularly parts of Birmingham with the UK's lowest vaccination rates, are being hit hardest by the outbreak. Dame Jenny Harries, head of UKHSA, has warned of the potential for the disease to spread. Birmingham MP Jess Phillips has called for a TikTok campaign to promote MMR vaccine uptake and condemned the spread of vaccine misinformation online. Birmingham Children's Hospital is isolating measles patients to prevent the disease from spreading further, while pop-up MMR vaccination clinics have been set up across the West Midlands.
