Babies in Swindon at risk of deadly diseases as dozens miss jabs
Babies in Swindon could be in danger of catching deadly diseases as figures show dozens missed their first potentially life-saving vaccines.
Parents are being urged to get their children jabbed as experts warn outbreaks of serious illnesses could follow the lifting of coronavirus pandemic restrictions.
By a baby's first birthday, they should have received a series of vaccinations to protect them against potentially fatal diseases.
The World Health Organisation recommends 95% of babies should get the six-in-one vaccination, which protects against diseases including diptheria, polio and whooping cough, before the age of one to prevent outbreaks.
