How does measles vaccine prevent diarrhea?
Children who have measles., or have had the disease in the previous four weeks, have a substantially increased risk of developing severe or fatal diarrhea or dysentery (there is some evidence that the increased risk lasts up to six months after measles). Because of the strong relationship between measles and serious diarrhea, and the effectiveness of measles vaccines, measles immunization is a very cost-effective measure for reducing diarrhea morbidity and deaths.

Can you catch German measles after a MMR vaccine?
While the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) is highly effective in preventing German measles (rubella), it is still possible, though rare, to contract the virus after vaccination. The vaccine provides immunity to about 97% of recipients, meaning a small percentage may not develop full protection. Additionally, if someone is vaccinated but later exposed to the virus, their immune response may not be strong enough to prevent infection. Overall, vaccination significantly reduces the risk of contracting German measles.
What if never vaccinated for measles?
If someone is never vaccinated for measles, they are at a significantly higher risk of contracting the disease, which can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, and even death. Measles is highly contagious, so unvaccinated individuals can also pose a risk to others, especially infants and those with compromised immune systems. Additionally, outbreaks can occur in communities with low vaccination rates, making it crucial for individuals to receive the measles vaccine for their own health and the health of the community.

Overall, while mumps can pose a risk to male fertility, the effects of measles on reproductive health are not as clear.
