I read that it takes an exposed population with a high 96-98%+ measles vaccination rate to begin to flatten an infection outbreak. The fact is that measles is one of the most infectious virus to humans. One fool visited tourist sites,yikes.
Signing off to reread the text book on measles. Pregnant women have some complications. I can’t remember the risk ti baby if mother is vaccinated for measles. Anyone with more knowledge know?
During a measles outbreak, about one in five people who get sick will need hospital care and one in 20 will develop pneumonia. Rarely, measles can lead to swelling of the brain and death. It can also cause pregnancy complications, such as premature birth and babies with low birth weight.
