ONLY one child in 131 invited to have an emergency measles jab turned up at a special clinic. Merseyside health officials were put on alert after an outbreak of the illness in Cheshire, where three confirmed and 11 possible cases were reported. As a result, the NHS in Knowsley held MMR catch-up clinics last Saturday – but out of 131 two to four-year-olds invited, only one child was brought in.
