A MOTHER whose husband and two sons all had to be taken to hospital because of measles has urged others to get their children vaccinated.
Laura Daw, 23, from Eaglescliffe, near Stockton, said: "It is really hard watching your family suffer and not be able to do something. It is heartbreaking...
...Mrs Daws sons, John, three and David, four and husband, Karl, 23, have all been "very poorly" after contracting measles and all needed hospital treatment...
...she regretted that the family had decided against having their two boys vaccinated against measles.
This was because the family were worried that the triple MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccine had, in the past, been linked to causing autism.
That claim has now been firmly rejected by the medical authorities...
