A member asked:
Can you get the measles if you have had the mmrv vaccine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: One dose of mmrv is 95% effective, and 2 doses is almost 99% effective. That's very good, but it's not 100%; so it is possible (though very unlikely) to still get measles even after immunization.
