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

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).

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.
