were in children under the age of ten.

Jenny Harries warned that vaccination rates
have fallen to approximately 85% nationally. .
Hairries noted that the numbers are
"too low to maintain safe population
coverage โ we want that at about 95%." .
According to public health officials, over 3.4 million
children under the age of 16 are unprotected and
at risk of catching one of these preventable diseases.
Officials at the World Health Organization have warned
