Measles outbreaks cost A LOT of money. Societal costs of the 2018 Clark Co, WA outbreak cost society-the taxpayer-$3.4 million ($47 479 per case or $814 per contact).
Cost of measles vaccine=$25 per dose ($50 for a 2 shot regimen) + MA/RN to administer.

Maybe if the focus was on lost productivity, reduced consumer spending, lower tax revenues and increased costs something might change. But probably not.
