How little we know about the people behind the forum names. That is so very sad OG, I can't begin to imagine what that would be like.

Thank you Bargepole23. Very kind of you to say.

It is a far more serious disease than many people think.

When I was a child,  I had it and so did my friends.  It was regarded then,  as just one of those things that almost all kids get.

Only after I lost a child to it,  did I realise what an extremely dangerous disease it is.

People are now letting their guard drop a little and some of the anti-vax debate is putting some people off.

I would encourage everyone to make sure that your kids are protected.

How very sad,  I feel for you.    😢

I expect that vaccine uptake would be higher if the single measles jab were available on the NHS.

Why?

Because parents who wish to immunise their children against measles, but don't want them having the triple vaccine jab, could go ahead and get them the measles jab.

Why would you want to do that?

Presumably you mean 'Why would they want to do that?'
