Public Health warns it could lead to outbreaks of measles
Public Health says it's starting to see a decline in the number of children having the second dose of the Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccination.
It comes as the UK's seen a rise in measles cases following a drop in the number of children having the jab.
The first dose is given to one year olds while the second is given when the child is three years and four months.
Public Health says 92.1 percent of children have had one dose of the MMR vaccine, while only 78.5 percent have had two.
It adds, while there hasn't been an increase in measles cases on the Isle of Man yet, outbreaks could occur if the uptake continues to decline.
Parents can check whether their children are vaccinated by looking in their red books or checking with their GP.
