Title Parents snubbing MMR jab
Full Story

Many parents in Suffolk are continuing to snub the single MMR vaccination, health chiefs have said.

Uptake of the measles, mumps and rubella jab plummeted after research in 1998 linked it to autism, but those findings have since been discredited.

About 85% of the county's children had the jab but this is "too low", Suffolk Health Protection Team said.
