Childhood vaccination rates in Northern Ireland are dropping year on year. Experts are worried. The Public Health Agency is warning that if rates drop further we will start to see the return of “diseases of the past” such as polio, diphtheria and tetanus. Measles returned to Northern Ireland last year. So why are people so divided about vaccines?
Two men who have been battling it out on social media, come together on the pink sofa to talk through it all.
Paul Frew, DUP MLA and Dr Connor Bamford, Virologist at Queen’s University Belfast go head to head in our great big vaccine debate.
