Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

• Before measles vaccine was licensed in the United States in 1963, some 400,000 cases of measles were reported on average each year.
• If a goal of measles elimination is adopted, a second dose of measles vaccine is required.
• Measles vaccines, to me, sound like a very similar but rather better idea in so far as the child is deliberately exposed to measles virus, as at a measles party, but it is a very mild version.
• Vaccine Safety The measles vaccine and the combined MMR vaccine are very safe and effective and generally have few side effects.
• In addition, there may be special reasons why children from 6 months of age up to 12 months of age may also require measles vaccine.
