A child has died at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool due to measles, marking the second measles-related fatality in the UK this decade. The child's vaccination status is unknown, but the case highlights concerns over low vaccination rates in Liverpool, where around 288 out of every 1,000 people are vulnerable to the disease. Public health officials are urging people to ensure they and their children are vaccinated against measles, mumps, and rubella to prevent an outbreak.
