At least 34 children have been infected by a “fast-spreading” measles outbreak in several north London schools, health officials have said
The cases from Enfield were confirmed in laboratory tests in January, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) reported.
A local GP surgery said one in five children who contracted the illness had been admitted to hospital, all of whom “had not been fully immunised”.
Families have been urged to ensure their children are up to date with their immunisations against the highly contagious disease, which can cause serious health complications.
