Could i still get the measles if i've been vaccinated?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The percentage of full protection after a single dose runs about 85 % while a 2 dose series brings most up to over 95%. Imported cases from other countries represent our main risk of exposure, with an increasing problem of secondary cases in the unimmunized or partially immunized.

Some do: Protection after one dose is estimated as 85% with a second dose raising that rate to >95%.Recent US outbreaks (Houston) have been linked to imported cases (air travel) that passed the germs to kids with only one dose or no vaccines.
