Washing hands and wiping down surfaces will not do much to protect children from a deadly, highly infectious, airborne virus. Vaccinate and ventilate.

While infection control and cleaning is always a good thing, it’s not going to cut it for measles. Measles is airborne and highly contagious. The best approach is vaccination, and local infection control should focus on ventilation and air cleaning www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The top five Extended Roles for GPs, according to 167 GPs.
Unfortunately, there’s no funding yet for these roles. One GP told us: “We have to literally create the spaces where we want to work.”
