Measles??? |
my friends child has caught measles..he is 2 years old and has not had the mmr jab offered to all babies at 1 year old! my two kids have both had the jab...what are the chances of them catching measles from him? he hasnt been near them since 7 days ago and his mum discovered the rash yesterday...my kids seem fine and do not have any fevers or anything..but i was just wondering? if they have both had the jab can they still catch it? my daughter has down syndrome and has a slightly low immune system....would having measles hit her harder? do you know of any reputable sights where i can find out? thanks in advance for your answers xx The first dose of MMR vaccination that a child recieves gives 90% protection against measles and mumps and 95 -99% protection against Rubella. They could catch it, but would have a milder infection and may not suffer as much. the best advice is from a doctor, i know with some injections you can catch a weaker version of the disease, but i dont know about measles yes your kids can still get measles even though they had jab If both of your children have already been immunized against measles, there is very little chance they will get it. Scroll down about half way to where it says prevention and there is your answer. Thank goodness you were responsible enough to have your kids vaccinated. they can catch it but the jab prevents them catching it as bad as ur friends son has it and its maybe better they catch it young as the older they catch it the worse it is only a slim chance, that is why you are one of the sensible ones and had your children vaccinated. |
