UKHSA warns of growing measles outbreak:
Get vaccinated now
The latest measles case data shows a rise in activity since January 2026, largely driven by an outbreak in North London.
Between 1st January and 2nd March, 195 laboratory‑confirmed cases were reported in England - an increase of 37 since 26th February.
Of these, 22% were in the West Midlands, mostly in unvaccinated children under five, with Birmingham accounting for most cases.
Measles can cause serious long‑term complications but is easily preventable.
Two doses of the MMRV vaccine give vital protection, and older children and adults who missed out can catch up at any time with the MMR vaccine.
