Can babies still get measles once immunized?

Question

My one year old has a measles lie rash and the pharmasist has confirmed this. she is up to date with all of her shots, so i didnt thin she would be able to get this virus. also she is having alot of trouble sleeping as she is itchy, calomine lotion not helping, any suggestions?

Answer 1

Yes. Vaccines don't work on 100% of people and they do wear off over time. This is why they give boosters.

My 10yr old brother had mumps last summer and my husband had it at 15.

Answer 2

Vaccinations help prevent the disease, but are not a gurantee against it.  Once a child is vaccinated against a disease, he/she can still get it, but will get it in a milder form.

Answer 3

Yes baby's can get anything even when they have been immunised my son got phnumococcle meningitis after he was immunized against it. Immunisations are not a guarantee by all means but they just help to prevent it.
