Following the recent resurgence of measles in South Wales, Micropod's Nancy Mendoza unpacks the MMR vaccine debacle that has been blamed for this latest outbreak. She speaks to John Illman, a health journalist who was writing for the national daily papers at the time; and Michael Fitzpatrick, a GP and parent of an autistic son who put his head above the parapet to counter Andrew Wakefield's claims of a link between the triple vaccine and autism.
Look out for a special edition of Microbiologist on microbiology in the media, which is out on 2 December (www.sfam.org.uk/microbiologist). The edition includes a feature by John Illman, on MMR.
