Why do some children fail to respond to a measles vaccine if given too early?

This happens because before the age of 6 months the child may still have some of the mother's antibodies from either passing through the placenta or from breast feeding. This means that the antibodies will recognise the vaccination as foreign and so destroy the cells so it does not work ~ hope that helps babe :)

Why measles vaccination is done after 9 months of age?
When measles vaccine is given too early, maternal antibodies that the baby got before birth interfere with the body's ability to develop an immune response to the vaccine. This blunting from maternal antibodies doesn't affect all vaccines, but hampers response to the MMR and varicella vaccines, so these are given after twelve months (not 9 months).

One vaccination Of MMR last for a lifetime. One vaccination for most does last a lifetime, however this is not always the case. People born in the late 60's early 70's needed a second in their late teens early 20's. There were outbreaks and those who get measles had received a shot when they were children but they did not get enough of the vaccine. Also there are some people who do even after the shot still have no titer. A titer shows immunity or proof one has had an illness. The blood of those who cannot hold an immunity in some way cleans it out because it shows they never had the shot in the first place and only records from a doctor will show they actually had the shot.

Which organs do measles affect?
Measles is an acute, highly infectious viral disease with cough, fever, and maculopapular rash. It is of worldwide endemicity.The virus enters the body via the respiratory system, multiplies there, and circulates in the blood. Cough, sneezing, conjunctivitis, photophobia, and fever occur, with Koplik's spots (small red spots containing a bluish-white speck in the center) in the mouth.A rash appears after 14 days' incubation and persists 5-10 days. Serious complications may occur in 1 out of 15 persons; these are mostly respiratory (bronchitis, pneumonia), but neurological complications are also found. Encephalomyelitis occurs rarely. Permanent disabilities may ensue for a significant number of persons. Measles is one of the leading causes of death among children in the world, particularly in the developing countries.In unvaccinated populations, immunizing infections occur in early childhood during epidemics which recur after 2-3 years' accumulation of susceptible children. Transmission is by coughing or sneezing. Measles is infectious from the onset of symptoms until a few days after the rash has appeared. Second attacks of measles are very rare. Treatment is symptomatic.Killed virus vaccine should not be used, as certain vaccinees become sensitized and develop local reactions when revaccinated with live attenuated virus, or develop a severe illness upon contracting natural measles. Live attenuated virus vaccine effectively prevents measles; vaccine-induced antibodies persist for years.

Why was a Disneyland attraction in California in the news in early March 2015?
The event actually happened in December, 2014. A visitor to the park in mid-December had never been vaccinated for Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR which is given to babies in 3 doses / boosters). That person began a measles outbreak when they went to the park and spread measles through the crowd."Although the person who started the outbreak has not yet been identified, officials suspect it began with an infected person from abroad who visited the Disneyland theme park in southern Californiain mid- to late December. Since then, there have been 145 confirmed measles cases in seven states and three countries linked to the Disneyland outbreak, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)." (See: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/mar/17/measles-california-disneyland-vaccination-research )The incident showcased how easily a communicable disease can spread, and how parents need to vaccinate their babies / toddlers. "Though the national vaccination rate for the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine is around 92%, there are communities with pockets of under-vaccinated or unvaccinated children, where an outbreak is much more likely to take hold."
