Vaccinated individuals have 97% protection, but breakthroughs occur. Post-exposure shots within 72 hours can blunt risk for most. Measles complications hit kids hard, with one in five hospitalized last year. New research shows measles wipes immune memory, leaving individuals vulnerable to other infections.
