Really a big issue, as Britain managed to basically eliminate TB 1-2 decades ago, and have stopped widespread vaccinations against it.
And now due to immigration, we have started to see these kind of “eliminated” diseases be reintroduced. Statistics also show that anti vaxing is no longer the “middle class” social disease it used to be (in the 2000’s), but strongest in areas with higher proportion of immigrants (the areas with the best vaccination rates are the least “diverse” areas, the ones with the worst, are areas like inner london)

EDIT: [Childhood vaccination coverage | UKHSA data dashboard](https://ukhsa-dashboard.data.gov.uk/cover/childhood-vaccinations)
Take hackney… only has 61% (!) coverage of the 6 in 1, 12 months vaccination.
74.4% for the 6-1 (5 year one)…. versus 92% for the entirety of England.
