England's childhood vaccination strategy is failing and the fact that many children are at risk of life-threatening diseases is a "national disgrace", according to a report by the Health and Social Care Committee. MPs warn that England has the worst health outcomes in Europe for young children, including deaths from entirely predictable diseases. Children in the country are at high risk of obesity, asthma, tooth decay or life-threatening diseases due to missed vaccines. Labor MP Paulette Hamilton highlighted these issues on behalf of the cross-party committee. The report, titled "The First 1,000 Days: A Renewed Focus," focuses on the period from conception to age 2. Declining vaccination rates are part of a broader list of health problems for children.
