Child Vaccinations Slump to 10-Year Low

The number of children being vaccinated against diseases including measles and whooping cough has collapsed to the lowest levels in more than a decade in the UK as trust in vaccines plummets following the Covid vaccination drive. The Times has more.

The slump, which appears to be a part of a growing phenomenon of vaccine hesitancy in Britain, means Britain remains below the 95% coverage threshold recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) for all routine vaccines by the age of five. It leaves the country at risk of serious outbreaks of potentially deadly diseases among children.

Last year there were 2,911 confirmed measles cases in England, the highest number since 2012, with outbreaks in Birmingham and London. There were 14,894 confirmed cases of whooping cough in 2024 and 11 babies died.

The WHO recommends a 95% vaccination threshold to achieve herd immunity for disease elimination or control.

Before the age of five, children are supposed to have the MMR jab; the six-in-one vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough (pertussis), polio, Haemophilus influenzae type b and hepatitis B; and the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. Children also get vaccines against meningitis B and C. Missed vaccines can be caught up with at any age.

Vaccination rates for the six-in-one vaccine have dropped from 89% in 2014 to 83% in 2024 for children. For MMR, rates have fallen from 88% to 84%.

The pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, which protects against streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, has fallen from 92% to 88%. Similarly, the rate for meningitis vaccines is down from 92% to 89%.

London has the lowest immunisation rates for childhood vaccines. Data analysis by the Sunday Times shows that for the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps and rubella), Hackney, east London, has just 60% coverage. …

Anti-vaccine sentiment is also on the rise. Polling data reveals a growing belief among adults in Britain that vaccines cause harmful effects which are being withheld from them. According to regular YouGov polling of 2,000 adults, the percentage of people agreeing with this belief has more than doubled, increasing from 14% at the start of the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out to 34% this year. …

Dr Yasmin Razak, a GP partner in North Kensington in London, where rates for MMR vaccination are as low as 64%, said vaccine hesitancy was a real problem. …

She said after Covid and the push for vaccinations during the pandemic, people were more sceptical. She described how sometimes mothers fell silent when the topic of vaccination was raised.

“Vaccines are something people are very wary of since Covid. There was a lot of fear in a lot of people and a lot of misinformation as well. The Pfizer jab was obviously fantastic but there were side-effects with the AstraZeneca vaccine and so people are hesitant.”

The Pfizer jab was obviously fantastic, unlike that nasty AZ clot shot. Hmm, it seems the official vaccine disinformation still has a hold over the medical community.

If any of these jabs (CONVID) were so good, how come people have died or had their health ruined?, and that is clearly not misinformation, so not suprised vaccine rates dropped, also given Londons population is ethnic high, also not a suprise, as many of them have also suffered at “pharma’s” hands.

Isolate your children in homes no matter how small for months and years, bind their mouths and noses when they are allowed out in socially distanced groups, bribe them to become role models by having an experimental injection or three and continue to trust the authorities as they follow the science. Is anyone surprised that trust abused in this way, simply vanishes?

Dearest woke Illuminati – if you are reading this – this is the unexpected consequence of all the propaganda, the coercion, the mandates that you imposed on us.
You overplayed your hand.
If you had been honest, you could have said something like “these vaccines are the best we can offer at the moment, take it or leave it. Your choice.”
But no. You saw the crisis, you saw an opportunity. You always had totalitarian desires, you wanted to control, because that’s all you really care about: power and control. Your idea is a society where you control absolutely everything. Where you decide who lives and dies, you decide who eats and starves.
But it didn’t quite work out. A lot of us saw through your propaganda. A lot of us are suspicious. Now you’re squirming. We need BBC Verify! We need to combat misinformation! We need to censor harmful content!
The problem is, we are just becoming even more suspicious. Even people who don’t quite understand what’s going on can feel that something is not quite right.

Or was it all done intentionally to stop us being vaccinated against real diseases so we all start to die of those again?

No, because if you look at the stats, rates of deadly diseases such as measles and polio were down massively before mass vaccination programmes began.

Most of these diseases were a product of poor sanitation and poor nutrition. Think of the squalor and poverty (genuine) kids were brought up in before the War. Combine modern plumbing and nutrition with better medical interventions, and these diseases are not the bogeymen we’ve been led to believe.

Health, sanitation, diet.

Smallpox – the greatest killer epidemic was 1870-72 after 70 years of quacking, obligatory quackcine uptake was made law in 1853, enforced by prison time. The Quacktards have trouble with facts.

Like what? Not a single quackcine has saved you. Measles et al are mild when treated without quackcines. The supposed deaths – all apocryphal – in this article on measles et al, the babies were all quacked.

I’m with you all here, I obviously didn’t have any ‘Covid’ jabs and neither did any my wife or children, our youngest hasn’t had any of the routine vaccinations, and we regret giving the other two (pre Covid) any at all.
I was merely suggesting that it might be a bit shortsighted to see the Covid jabs as a standalone con

When I was a small child, measles were considered a perfectly harmless childhood disease and whooping cough a not particularly serious one.

Pfeizer shots were fantastic at what? No good at stopping the spread. i think that was eventually admitted. It certainly was not tested from the prevention of the spread of COVID. And what about the risk of death? I do not think that was the objective of the trials. Then what about the long term effects? a couple of months is not long enough, not to mention the effects of repeated jabs- never tested. Not to mention the confusion over risk reduction – relative risk reduction versus absolution risk reduction. Not to mention how you can have a notifiable disease, but what about notifiable vaccine side effects?

Something that gives you £20 a pop without doing a stroke of work may well be fantastic (lots of surgeries outsourced the actual work to combined groups). However, comments like that by Dr. Yasmin Razak tend to explain why confidence has declined.

Perhaps there will be lots more side-effects caused by the way the débacle was managed, which they will try to keep quiet about.

There were 14,894 confirmed cases of whooping cough in 2024 and 11 babies died.”

really? What did they die of (or with), what was their health status, how were the treated, and were they vaccinated? This kind of throwaway fearstat is always misleading.

I also notice they reintroduce the concept of herd immunity. I thought this was out of favour with the propagandists.

they are lying liars that have been caught lying again.

Not too sure on this one – the whooping cough vaccine (along with polio and diphtheria) has been around a long time – I had them as a child so one can assume they have a history of being safe.

Polio vaccine killed kids. As admitted by its progenitor Sachs. Polio is from toxic poisoning, not fake flying viruses.

Can you be certain that the whooping cough vaccine is now the same as when you were given it? And going forward they want to use the dangerous mRNA base for all vaccines where a learned US physician said that mRNA needs two further Nobel Prizes before it should be used.

11 out of 14,894 died means a CFR of 0.07% or 7 in 10,000. This strongly suggests that other health issues or particular circumstances were involved here.

This is good news that parents are waking up to the extreme danger of letting someone profit from jabbing 70 needles into your helpless child.

I don’t think parents’ vaccine refusal for their kids is caused by the covid vaccine, but by the terrible damage done by the relentless schedule of unnecessary childhood vaccinations that parents can see with their own eyes, including autism and other brain damage within hours of being jabbed. Or all the teenage boys, for example, who collapse at school after getting the vaccine to protect teenage girls from reproductive cancer. It’s insane and outrageous Medical Genocide.

Also, less SIDS due to “vaccine hesitancy”.
Strange but clusters of SIDS occur post but not pre vaccination.

Lets have a studyy of the health outcomes of the jabbed v.never jabbed from birth.
Won,t happen – because it would only increase vaccine hesitancy.
The reality is that the bastards know full well what the results would be.
So it will never happen.

They claim it is unethical to withhold the lifesaving jab from those in the control group. That’s why they unblinded the Pfizer trial. It also makes it very difficult to prove anything.

I’m not “hesitant”. “Covid vaccines” were an evil abomination from start to finish. Past “vaccines” I am less sure about, but going forward, it’s a NO from me unless convincing evidence is supplied to the contrary.

They broke it, with the forced experimental genetherapies, which were not properly tested pre release, and for which the longterm effects were unknown. Everyone knows someone who took the injections and has suffered side effects as a result be it, multiple incidences of Covid, and reduced immunity, right through to strokes, heart injury, neuro injury and even death.
Even amongst the most ardent of Covidians there is now a deep suspicion that all was not told and there is a cover up, thet Pharma and Politicians and the like of Bill Gates made out like bandits on the suffering of millions.

I, who until Covid came along has unthinkingly taken vaccines to travel for dipthereia etc as had I done with my Children, but now having read many books, documents, research papers I would not trust the Industrial medical complex including the WHO with putting a plaster on a cut much less than putting christ knows what into my body.

And if you have to redefine what a ‘vaccine’ is, to make your new product be classed as a ‘vaccine’, that’s got to raise alarm bells…

What I find most irritating about the push for childhood vaccination is the lumping together of all diseases as equally to be feared. Measles and mumps in children is mild but meningitis may cause disability or death. There is no information about relative risks – either with the diseases themselves or the vaccinations. That alone makes me believe the vaccines are snake oil.

I stand corrected, but for me Hepatitis B stands out as the one that does not generally cause disease in infants or children. Why has this been added to the cocktail?
I would also like to challenge the idea of placebo controlled trials for these vaccines. How would you do this practically? Infect both the vaccinated and non-vaccinated with Polio or measles? Which cohort of people would you test on? Or do you just wait and see how many get diseased in a natural way? And how long would this study need to go on to work out any possible side-effects?
Or are they planning to just look at antibody levels.

Thanks for the link. I’d not heard of Dr. Andrew Moulden.

Interestingly the two YouTube videos in the article explaining the mechanism of vaccine injury including autism, have been removed – for violating Community Guidelines.
