10 years ago, a paper in the medical journal The Lancet that suggested

the possibility of a link between the MMR vaccine and autism sparked a

controversy that just doesn't seem to want to go away.

Immunisation expert Dr Elliman has spent much of the past ten

nothing to fear.

In this programme he visits a primary school in South London – an area

where vaccination rates are among the lowest in the country.
