I have a 2 year and 10 month child, who’s got all the vaccines. There are a lot of people around who got measles, although I’ve kept my child home, could she still get infected?

    The first dose of MMR vaccine produces immunity to measles in 95-98% of children vaccinated. There is a second dose, and the reason for the second dose is to protect those persons who did not become immune after one dose. After two doses of measles vaccine, 99% of persons become immune to the disease.
