The UK lost its measles elimination status on 26 January 2026, which requires at least 95% of the population to receive two doses of the MMR vaccine[1]. Vaccination in England remains well below this threshold – in 2024-25 only 83.7% of five-year-olds received both doses[1]. In addition to reluctance to vaccinate, a significant cause of low coverage is access barriers, which make it difficult to vaccinate children even for motivated and health-literate parents[1]. There is a measles epidemic in North London, which mainly affects unvaccinated children under the age of 10[1]. Most children with measles in England had no recorded vaccination history[1]. A similar trend of decreasing vaccination rates is also observed with other children's vaccines[1].
