Confirmed cases of measles, mumps, and rubella in England during the year 2025
In England, the number of laboratory-confirmed cases of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) remained relatively low in 2020, with approximately 3 cases of measles, 35 cases of mumps, and 5 cases of rubella reported, according to Public Health England's reports.
However, since 2021, there have been confirmed cases of these diseases each year. In 2021, Public Health England published reports detailing the cases, but no specific data on the number of cases was provided for that year. The current report on MMR cases in England for the year 2022 does not specify the age groups or locations affected, nor does it indicate any outbreaks or significant increases in case numbers.
In 2022, there were lab-confirmed cases of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella, as well as Mumps and Rubella, in England. Unfortunately, no data on MMR cases in England for the years prior to 2021 was provided in the current report.
Similarly, the current report for 2022 does not provide information on any outbreaks or significant increases in MMR cases in England for the year 2022. This lack of detailed information may raise concerns about the potential for undetected outbreaks or the spread of these diseases in certain communities.
Despite these concerns, it is important to note that vaccination programmes play a crucial role in preventing the spread of these diseases. The MMR vaccine offers effective protection against measles, mumps, and rubella, and it is recommended that children receive two doses of the vaccine, with the first dose given as part of the routine childhood vaccination schedule.
As we move forward, it is crucial that public health authorities continue to monitor and report on cases of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella in England. This information not only helps to identify potential outbreaks but also informs the public about the importance of vaccination in protecting against these diseases.
In conclusion, while the number of lab-confirmed cases of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella in England has remained relatively low in recent years, there have been confirmed cases each year since 2021. Public health authorities should continue to monitor and report on these cases to ensure the health and safety of the population.
