The mum of a baby who had measles so severely that "her eyes were swollen shut for four days", says "parents should know what can happen to vulnerable babies".

Axar.az reports citing BBC.

Jilly Moss's daughter Alba spent eight days seriously ill in hospital.

She was not old enough to have had the first dose of the MMR vaccine.

More than half a million children in the UK missed out on the vaccine between 2010 and 2017, the children's charity Unicef says.

Globally, 169 million children did not receive the first dose of the measles vaccine over the same seven-year period.

There have been more than 110,000 measles cases worldwide in the first three months of 2019 - a rise of 300% compared to last year, World Health Organization figures show.

It comes as NHS chief Simon Stevens warned that people rejecting vaccines was a "growing public health time bomb".
