Mum urges vaccine push and shares how son died after catching measles
bbc.com
A mother whose child died aged six from a brain inflammation caused by measles hopes sharing her story will encourage parents to "vaccinate more".
It comes as the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) warned of measles outbreaks in parts of London.
Gemma Larkman-Jones wants more parents to consider having their children vaccinated sooner.

Prof Dame Jenny Harries, UKHSA chief executive, warned that measles is spreading among unvaccinated communities, and added that a "national call to action" is needed across the country.
Vaccination rates across the UK have been dropping, but there are particular concerns in parts of the capital as well as in some areas of the West Midlands.

Fucked around, found out, and killed an innocent kid.
No. It was not her choice that caused this outcome. How do I know? I read the article: “ … he had been put on a delayed vaccination programme.” The woman had surely suffered enough losing her child - let’s not make it worse.
A delayed vaccination programme isn't a real thing, it's just what happens when you miss vaccines so the doctors have no choice but to create a delayed schedule. It's a result of not taking your child's health seriously. It was directly this parents choice not to get her son vaccinated on the doctor administered schedule.
I bow to your superior knowledge and intimate understanding of this particular case. Many thanks.
I remember when antivacxxers were just mainly the bud end of every joke. Now when i vrowse tinder there are more and more women who are looking for smart and unvaccinated and pure men. These fuckers are gonna reproduce
