A SERIES of vaccinations sessions is being extended to high schools across Breconshire and Radnorshire over the next few weeks to ensure that as many children are vaccinated as possible against measles.

At the time of going to press on Tuesday afternoon, April 23, the number of measles cases in Powys was reported to be at 75, an increase of nine on last Tuesday.

Clinics are already being held at high schools in the north of the county and measures are being taken to increase these to high schools in Breconshire and Radnorshire over the next few weeks.
