How vaccinating a child with MMR vaccine makes them immune to measles?
MMR is measles mumps and rubella. If you give a strain of measles to a child, it's immune system develops anti bodies that destroy the virus, the anti bodies will stay around for ever and the child will be immune to measles as the anti bodies will prevent the measles virus from spreading.
Why is anti-measles vaccine given at 9 months?
anti measles vaccine is given at 9 months of age because before that the child has already got anti measles antibodies derived from her mother and the vaccine would be unable to elicit the response. At 9 months , we assume (in case of developing nations) that there are no maternal antimeasles antibodies left
What type of organism causes measles?
Normal measles is caused by the Rubeola virus. You most likely got vaccinated for it as a child - it's a part of the MMR (measles mumps rubella) vaccine. Make sure not to confuse Rubeola (normal measles) with Rubella (German measles) as they're slightly different viruses :)Does anybody know because I really need to know for my science stuff and I don't have a clue! Help please. Many Thanks.chocolate
How many people have been killed by measles?
It's impossible to find that information out. In 2006 a 13 year old boy died of measles, first death in more than a decade. So, yearly, statistically, 0.10% children die of measles or 1 in 10 years die of measles in the UK. Thanks to vaccinations, we are now fairly safe from diseases like measles, but unfortunately as the rate of vaccinations goes down (due to fear mongering) some of these diseases are coming back. If you are using this information to decide whether or not to vaccinate your child, remember that 200,000 people died of measles last year - in unvaccinated countries. Talk to your doctor and make the sensible decision.
What is used to make measles vaccine?
The MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) is a live, attenuated (weakened), combination vaccine that protects against the measles, mumps, and rubella viruses. It was first licensed in the combined form in 1971 and contains the safest and most effective forms of each vaccine. It is made by taking the measles virus from the throat of an infected person and adapting it to grow in chick embryo cells in a laboratory. As the virus becomes better able to grow in the chick embryo cells, it becomes less able to grow in a child's skin or lungs. When this vaccine virus is given to a child it replicates only a little before it is eliminated from the body. This replication causes the body to develop an immunity that, in 95% of children, lasts for a lifetime. A second dose of the vaccine is recommended to protect those 5% who did not develop immunity in the first dose and to give "booster" effect to those who did develop an immune response.

Measles is caused by paramyxo virus and although may have infected humans once to give rise to antigens as immunization can again infect humans.

Antibiotics can only work against bacterium, whereas measles are caused by a virus.
