Measles: Vaccine induced illness ( be it measles or chicken pox) is possible and is part of the body reaction to the vaccine in the process of developing immunity to that particular disease. Usually live virus vaccines induce this kind of reaction ( measles is a live virus vaccine) and the illness is less severe and short duration. Not all children react like that and those who don't react, get immune too!

Normal: A rash several weeks after the vaccination is a normal reaction.It tells us that the immune system is responding and is harmlss.By the way, 10 months of age may be a bit too young to effectively administer the vaccine and provide effective protection.Boosters will be needed.

Confused Dad: My son's vaccine schedule calls for Measles (0) vaccine at 6 months, then MMR (1) at 12 months and MMR (2) again at 6 years. Is Measles (0) vaccine necessary at 6 months? A few studies suggest lower protection with early immunization.

If i choose not to vaccinate my child against the measles, am i really putting them at risk? I think it would be better to risk my son getting measles than taking the chance that the vaccine itself could damage his health somehow.
