Jacqui Dunn has been speaking to Manx Radio, following the publication of figures in the UK recently.
They showed more than half a million children there missed out on the vaccine between 2010 and 2017, according to the children's charity UNICEF.
And there have been more than 110,000 cases of the disease worldwide in the first three months of 2019 - a rise of 300%.
The vaccination rate in the Isle of Man has remained steady, though, according to Jacqui, which she says is good news.
