Measles, whooping cough, and scabies cases rise in England due to declining vaccination rates and poverty.

Experts in England have linked rising cases of measles, whooping cough, and scabies to declining vaccination rates and poverty. In a year, measles diagnoses in A&E surged five-fold to 2,305, while whooping cough cases tripled. Health authorities urge the government to address poverty-related factors like inadequate income and housing, as well as promote vaccinations as a critical defense against these preventable diseases.
