Have there been any major deaths or injuries due to the measles?
Yes, measles can lead to serious health complications, including death, particularly in unvaccinated individuals.

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. Measles vaccine given at 9 months of age can prevent up to 25% of diarrhea-associated deaths in children under 5 years of age.

How many people died with the measels vaccine?
The measles vaccine is considered one of the safest and most effective vaccines available. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and fatalities directly attributed to the measles vaccine are exceedingly low, with estimates suggesting fewer than one death per million doses administered.

What is the percentage of deaths from German measles?
German measles, or rubella, is generally considered a mild viral infection, especially in children. The mortality rate is very low, typically estimated at less than 0.1% in the general population.

Vaccination has greatly reduced the incidence and associated risks of the disease.
