A single vaccine clinic for parents
concerned about the controversial MMR jab has been
closed because it is not legally registered. Desumo
Healthcare and Information, which organises the
satellite sessions in Swansea, has been ordered to shut
down until its registration has been processed. Desumo's
co-founder Debbie Ryding said, "Once clinics like this
are lost, that's it, parents will not have the choice
about vaccines available to them." (The Western Mail
