Wales must not neglect vaccination

It is tempting for young parents to put off the MMR jab during the current emergency. Indeed, there are informal reports that vaccination rates in Wales fell in the first quarter of this year, as if the dire results of the fake "autism" scare were already forgotten. It cannot be stressed enough that measles can be a killer, and it and mumps can cause life-changing damage. Rubella (German measles) is a threat to unborn children.

So it is unsurprising that NHS Wales has issued a media release reminding us of the need for vaccination. There need be no Covid-19 infection fears; social distancing measures are in place to protect both the public and the nursing staff that administer the vaccines. Appropriate infection control procedures are being followed.
