Good to know! [1]
> Vaccines offered through the national immunisation programme in the UK are not mandatory.
Which is probably why measles is not/no longer eradicated in the UK:
> In August 2019, the WHO’s European Regional Verification Commission for Measles and Rubella Elimination (RVC) determined the UK had lost its measles elimination status.
But still useful to get a non-US perspective. (It's easy to forget how policies differ, worldwide)
