MMR uptake rate falls

MMR vaccination uptake among children in England has dropped just over 3 percentage points since last year, according to the Government's latest immunisation statistics. They show that 84.1 per cent of children were immunised with the measles, mumps and rubella triple vaccine in 2001–02, compared with 87.4 per cent in 2000-01.
