TL;DR
Since the introduction of vaccination, vaccine uptake has risen from around 50% in 1968 to 76% in 1988, and the number of vaccinated people in the United Kingdom has increased from 3.5 to 6.5 million between 1968 and 1988.

This work has shown that measles is a natural ecological system that exhibits different dynamical transitions at different times and places, yet all of these transitions can be predicted as bifurcations of a single nonlinear model.

Measurements of the distribution of epidemic sizes and duration are used to show that regularities in the dynamics of such systems do become apparent and that the observed power-law exponents are well described by a simple lattice-based model which reflects the social interaction between individual hosts.

Serological surveillance of measles immunity in England has been carried out in England since 1986/7 and showed that there was cause for concern over the levels of susceptibility to measles, with an epidemic of over 100000 cases likely in 1995/6.
