71 measles cases found in Enfield this year
Measles infections are growing in two north London boroughs. Enfield and Haringey combined account for nearly half the country's measles cases, says UKHSA. Information released Thursday showed Enfield had 12 additional infections and Haringey 2 during late February. The rise primarily affects school children, with serious illnesses linked to unvaccinated individuals.
