Measles

Liverpool City Council leader's pledge comes after a child's death at Alder Hey Children's Hospital.

Although cases have lowered, people are still being urged to get immunised.

What are the symptoms of measles and how dangerous is the disease?

Symptoms of measles include cold-like symptoms, red eyes, a high temperature and a red blotchy rash.

Public Health Isle of Man says no local cases have been reported but people should remain vigilant.

Seventeen children have been treated at the Liverpool hospital for the virus since June.

A rise in the number of children ill with the virus on Merseyside is reported by hospital bosses.

It is the latest milestone in the ongoing outbreak of a disease that was once thought to be eliminated in the US.
