Measles vaccine prevents from measles and is administered to children of 18 months with a second dose before age of 4 or 5 years.
Vaccine of measles contain alive viruses (called antigens). The alive antigen can reproduce inside the human body but they do not damage host because they are weakened in laboratory to the point where they are still alive and able to reproduce but can not cause serious illness.
When this vaccine is injected into the human body, the T cells of lymphocytes (White blood cells) detect the type of viruses in it. Then B cells of lymphocytes produce antibodies against these viruses. The viruses reproduce inside human body therefore the lymphocytes produce more antibodies against this specific type of viruses. Antibodies bind to the viruses, stop their activity and destroy them.
Now the viruses of vaccine have been destroyed but the antibodies against them are still present and they prevent the actual viruses (harmful) of measles to cause illness.
The person who has once caught measles also has the antibodies against measles viruses after the actual viruses entered the body and caused illness. Therefore the patient will recover within a week without using the vaccine.This person can not get measles again in life because the antibodies against measeles are already produced for prevntion by catching measles once. These antibodies are memory cell for this specific type of viruses.
The vaccine of measles does not cure but it is used for prevention because it helps in production of antibodies against measles without causing illness.

Why is vitamin A given with measles vaccine?
vitamin A was thought to improve immune response to vaccine and thus it was given along with vaccine. but reaserch indicates that there was no differnec with vitaminA supplementation and without it.
How do you prevent measles?
stay clean wash hands cover mouth with elbow when you cough.With the MMR vaccine. (measles, mumps, rubella).yes you can get you MMR vaccinations done. It stands for Measles Mumps Rubella and it is a group of vaccinations that make sure you dont catch measlesIsolation (vaccinations help).Stay away from people with measels. Wear a protective mask to prevent breathing in germs.
Why doesnt the measles vaccine protect you from all of these disease?
AnswerBecause it does not help in production of the antibodies against other diseases inside the human body.ExplanationMeasles vaccine contain measles viruses (alive) called antigen. The measles virus inside it are alive but do not cause this disease because they are weakened in laboratory to the point where they are still alive and able to reproduce but do not cause serious illness.When this vaccine is inserted inside human body, the T type lymphocytes (White Blood Cells) detect the type of vaccine viruses (measles) and then B type lymphocytes produce the antibodies against measles viruses.The measles viruses of vaccine are alive so they reproduce themselves inside the human body and the number of antibodies against them also increases. Antibodies bind to these viruses and destroy them. Now the measles viruses of vaccine have been destroyed but the antibodies against the measles viruses are still there and they prevent from the actual measles viruses.These antibodies can not prevent from other virus because every virus has different structure so different antibodies are needed to destroy it. Antibody for a specific antigen should have a shape and structure that is able to fit into this pathogen.Then it will be able to inhibit the activity of this pathogen.So the other diseases are prevented by other vaccine having the viruses of this disease which help the production of antibodies against this specific disease.The viruses of vaccines may be killed or alive.
Is there a vaccine for viral pneumonia?
There is no specific vaccine for viral pneumonia, but vaccines such as the influenza (flu) vaccine and the measles vaccine can help prevent some of the viral infections that can lead to pneumonia. It is important to practice good hygiene, get vaccinated, and seek medical attention if you develop symptoms of pneumonia.
Born between 1957 and 1963 do you need a measles vaccine?
2. Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccination. Measles component: adults born before 1957 can be considered immune to measles. Adults born during or after 1957 should receive >1 dose of MMR unless they have a medical contraindication, documentation of >1 dose, history of measles based on health-care provider diagnosis, or laboratory evidence of immunity. A second dose of MMR is recommended for adults who 1) were recently exposed to measles or in an outbreak setting; 2) were previously vaccinated with killed measles vaccine; 3) were vaccinated with an unknown type of measles vaccine during 1963--1967; 4) are students in postsecondary educational institutions; 5) work in a health-care facility; or 6) plan to travel internationally. Withhold MMR or other measles-containing vaccines from HIV-infected persons with severe immunosuppression. Mumps component: 1 dose of MMR vaccine should be adequate for protection for those born during or after 1957 who lack a history of mumps based on health-care provider diagnosis or who lack laboratory evidence of immunity. Rubella component: administer 1 dose of MMR vaccine to women whose rubella vaccination history is unreliable or who lack laboratory evidence of immunity. For women of childbearing age, regardless of birth year, routinely determine rubella immunity and counsel women regarding congenital rubella syndrome. Do not vaccinate women who are pregnant or who might become pregnant within 4 weeks of receiving vaccine. Women who do not have evidence of immunity should receive MMR vaccine upon completion or termination of pregnancy and before discharge from the health-care facility.

Can a pregnant woman ge the measles immunization?
If a pregnant woman mistakenly gets the MMR vaccine or conceive within days of getting the vaccine, she should be counseled about the potential theoretical risks to the fetus. Getting the vaccine is not enough ground to terminating the pregnancy. Pregnancy registry of 324 pregnant women who got the vaccine did not show any terotegenicity to the fetus. No baby reported any adverse events due to the vaccine
What do vaccines prevent?
Vaccines prevent only the infectious diseases that they were made to prevent. For example, a vaccine for one type of flu will prevent that type of flu, but you may still get other types if you are not also vaccinated for them. This is why the seasonal flu vaccine usually contains vaccine for the three most likely types of flu that are expected to circulate at the next flu season. There are vaccines for the various types of influenza, for other viral diseases like measles, mumps and polio and for a very limited number of bacterial disease such as one common type of bacterial pneumonia. See the related questions below for more information about how vaccines work.

Can mmr and tdap vaccine be given together?
Yes, the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine and the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccine can be administered together. It is common practice to give multiple vaccines during the same visit to help ensure that individuals receive necessary immunizations on schedule. However, it's always best to consult with a healthcare provider for specific recommendations based on individual health circumstances.
What strategy is used by public health to reduce the incidence of measles?
Public health strategies to reduce the incidence of measles primarily focus on vaccination campaigns, particularly the administration of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. By achieving high levels of immunization coverage in the population, herd immunity is established, which protects those who cannot be vaccinated. Additionally, public health education initiatives raise awareness about the importance of vaccination and the dangers of measles, while surveillance systems help monitor outbreaks and respond swiftly to contain them.
How does a vaccine help fight viral infections?
When the vaccine gets to the body the it will block away the viral infection.
What vitamin helps control the measles?
None. Measles is a virus and no vitamin will control the disease. It may help the person with immunity, but not stop them from getting it or help when they do have the disease.
