Thousands of children to get a DOUBLE jab of MMR in 'emergency' move to tackle measles epidemic

Thousands of babies and toddlers are being given two doses of the MMR jab in three months under "emergency" measures to tackle the biggest outbreak of measles for decades.



The unprecedented step follows a growing epidemic of the potentially fatal disease caused after too few children were given MMR injections.

Around 40 per cent of parents in some areas are shunning MMR, which has faced controversy over suspected links to autism and bowel disease.
