The number of younger children getting a double dose of the MMR jab in Wales has reached an all-time high but is still falling short of targets.
The latest figures from Public Health Wales (PHW) reveal 90.4% of children in Wales have received both measles, mumps and rubella vaccinations by the time they are five years old.
But that is still below the 95% target rate set by health officials.
The overall rate for under-16s who have had both jabs is even worse at 82%.
