Hundreds have queued as four south Wales hospitals offer free MMR jabs aimed at curbing a measles epidemic.

People began waiting at one, Morriston Hospital in Swansea, an hour before the doors opened at 10:00 BST on Saturday.

By early afternoon the local health board said about 800 vaccinations had been administered.

The outbreak has affected nearly 600 people so far in south, mid and west Wales, and sessions are also being held in Neath Port Talbot and Bridgend.

Ugh. I am glad that the influence of such people is declining in the UK. LeftishBrit Apr 2013 #2
