Today we have published our latest measles data. Measles continues to circulate in many parts of the country, with the majority of cases in unvaccinated children aged 10 years and under.
Very sadly, we are also reporting two deaths from measles in children this year. These deaths are a heartbreaking reminder that measles can be very serious and sometimes fatal.
We urge all parents to ensure their children are up to date with their MMR or MMRV vaccines, giving them the best and safest protection against measles – which can spread very easily. Anyone who has missed out on their measles vaccines can catch-up through their GP practice whatever their age.

Diabetes Week, 8th–14th June

Diabetes is a chronic condition causing high blood sugar. Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune reaction, and is often diagnosed in childhood. Type 2 is the most common, and is often driven by obesity and lifestyle choices. Diabetes can lead to serious health issues, but this can be avoided if it is well managed with monitoring, good diet and medication. You can find out the symptoms at https://www.diabetes.org.uk/about-diabetes/symptoms.

This Diabetes Week continues Diabetes UK’s campaign to Strike Out Stigma. Stigma causes harm, because blame and judgement can stop people getting the support they deserve, and the care they need. Find out more and get involved at https://www.diabetes.org.uk/support-us/diabetes-week.
