Labour MP Jess Phillips and Rugby MP Mark Pawsey are advocating for a TikTok campaign to promote the uptake of the MMR vaccine in response to a measles outbreak in the West Midlands, particularly in deprived areas with low vaccination rates. Dame Jenny Harries of the UKHSA has warned of the potential spread of the disease, and a national incident has been declared. Phillips has condemned the rapid spread of false vaccine messages and emphasized the importance of combating them. Health officials are reminding the public that measles can be a serious illness but is preventable with a safe and effective vaccine, urging those unvaccinated to contact their GP.

Measles can be a serious illness, but we have a safe and effective vaccine. If you or your child are not fully vaccinated, please contact your GP to arrange an appointment. It’s never too late to protect yourself and your family. https://t.co/3LsWBZwoMf
Measles is a nasty, infectious viral disease. #MMR vaccinations provide protection against this disease. Oldham levels of #MMR vaccinations are very low. If your child *hasn't* been vaccinated please contact your GP for information. https://t.co/3vK5KzPF8z
