The UK Health Security Agency issued an alert yesterday over the serious health risks of missing routine inoculations.
England failed to meet the World Health Organisation target of 95 percent for any childhood jabs in 2021-22, figures reveal.
Covid was partly to blame for a decrease in 13 out of 14 key vaccinations.
By the age of two, only 89 percent of children had received a first dose of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) jab -down from 92 percent in 2011-12.
Dangerous
Coverage for the second dose by age five had also fallen to 86 percent.
