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.
What gets rid of the measles?
Measles is a viral infection and there is no known cure for this illness. Treatment consists solely of supportive measures and hopefully the infection is self-limiting. Measles actually can be a very dangerous illness and can have serious consequences such as pneumonia, encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), and can be potentially fatal. The infection is highly contagious and is a preventable illness-there is a widely available and strongly encouraged vaccine (please note-the rumors of the vaccine having a link to autism are completely untrue and have been discredited by many scientific studies). The best bet is to prevent Measles infection in the first place rather than focusing on how to get rid of Measles.

Should a doctor charge to administer a vaccine and the cost of the vaccine?
My opinion is that no, doctors should not charge to administer a vaccine and the cost of the vaccine. If this was the case, not so many people would go to get shots to keep them immune from disease. If less people get their shots, then the whole population with become less healthy. #doesthishelpany #ihopeso #sorryifitdoesnot
Why do people need vaccine?
MMR vaccine protects you against Measles, Mumps, and Rubella. You need 2-3 doses on the proper schedule to become immune. You should get a blood test (titer) to confirm that the shots worked and gave your body immunity (some people need more shots and a small few people never seem to "take" to the vaccine, especially the mumps part- also the mumps part can be spoiled by heat during storage). Many healthcare workers, teachers, and other professionals are required to get this vaccine to protect themselves and others from these diseases. MMR is a "trivalent" (3-in-one) vaccine against the following 3 diseases: Measles is a rough disease that we don't see as much of anymore because of the success of vaccines- but it could come back if people stop taking the vaccine. Mumps is less common these days but there was a recent outbreak in New York City's Brooklyn area because groups of people stopped getting the vaccine for their kids. The mumps part of the vaccine can be spoiled by heat, so if the vaccine was not refrigerated properly, it can fail- while the other two parts are still effective. Also some people just never "seroconvert" (get immunity from the vaccine) or need a 3rd or 4th dose to obtain immunity. This can be frustrating because they require multiple blood tests to ensure that they are immune. Rubella is a disease that isn't terribly serious except for the fact that when pregnant women get it, their babies usually cannot survive the infection, or the babies brains are severely injured for the rest of their lives. So this vaccine is important for all of us to get so that women won't have a large chance of getting exposed during pregnancy. All of these diseases are pretty harsh, and can be deadly in young, elderly, weak, ill, or medicated people (on steroids or other drugs that weaken the immune system).
