Make the MMR vaccine a legal requirement for students living at University Halls
NHS figures show that the amount of children that have received both doses of the Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccine has dropped to a low of 87.2%
The result of this is causing outbreaks of measles and mumps throughout the UK which are potentially life threatening
Universities up and down the country are having outbreaks of mumps to which the consequences can be potentially devastating. Even those who are vaccinated are still getting the illness.
As anyone who goes to University is over the age of 18, it should be a legal requirement that they are fully vaccinated against MMR if they wish to live in halls of residence.
