LONDON (AP) — U.K. health officials on Monday urged millions of parents to book their children in for missed measles, mumps and rubella shots amid a sharp increase in the number of measles cases and the lowest vaccination rates in a decade. The National Health Service was launching a publicity campaign after figures showed there have been 216 confirmed measles cases and 103 probable cases in parts of England since October. Most cases were in children under 10 years old. Vaccination rates have dropped down to about 85% nationally, and far lower in parts of London, according to U.K. Health Security Agency chief executive Jenny Harries. Public health officials say that more than 3.4 million children under 16 years old are unprotected and at risk of catching the diseases.

Jacob King/Pool via REUTERS/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsLONDON, Aug 30 (Reuters) - England will bring forward the start of its autumn flu and COVID-19 vaccination programmes as a precautionary step after the identification of highly mutated COVID variant BA.2.86, which has been found in Britain. However, Britain's health ministry said annual vaccination programmes for older and at-risk groups would start a few weeks earlier than planned in light of the variant. It is not currently categorised as a "variant of concern" in Britain, and the health ministry said there was no change to wider public health advice. "As with all emergent and circulating COVID-19 variants ... we will continue to monitor BA.2.86 and to advise government and the public as we learn more."

The first group of migrants has arrived on board the boat, named Bibby Stockholm, which is docked in Portland, on the Dorset coast of southwest England, PA Media news agency reported. Medical practitioners flagged safety concerns over the Bibby Stockholm, after it was called a “death trap” by the UK’s Fire Brigades Union (FBU) on Wednesday. Campaigners flagged safety concerns over the UK government's plans to house 500 asylum-seekers on the boat. Finnbarr Webster/Getty ImagesPublic health experts warned that the cramped living conditions of the barge increase the risk of respiratory infections spreading. Housing any human on a ‘floating prison’ like the Bibby Stockholm is unacceptable.
