Mon, 21 Nov 2022 - 36min - 28 - Measles, encephalitis and childhood vaccinations
Welcome to a special edition of the Encephalitis Podcast. As it is Encephalitis Information Week (Oct 17 to 21, 2022), we wanted to talk about the theme of this year’s campaign - measles. This is a topic we wanted to discuss as recent research revealed that uptake of the Measles, Mumps and Rubella – or MMR vaccine - in England has fallen to its lowest levels in a decade and indeed even before the covid-19 pandemic the WHO declared that the UK had lost its measles-free status. The issue around childhood vaccinations is not restricted to the UK, however. In July, the World Health Organization revealed that 25 million children globally missed out on one or more of the doses of the vaccine against diptheria, tetanus and pertussis. That is the largest sustained decline in childhood vaccinations in approximately 30 years, according to the WHO and UNICEF. But why is the uptake of this vaccine at an all-time low? Is measles still a threat? How contagious is measles? Is there a risk of an outbreak? All these questions and more are answered by this episode's guest, Professor Benedict Michael, Chair of Infection Neuroscience at the University of Liverpool.
