I learned that babies are not infected with measles. is that true?

Confusing question: In the us the measles vaccine is offered as early as 6 mo of age for those traveling to areas where the disease is prevalent, or 1 yr if not with another booster at 4-5..This can prevent measles. Unimmunized infants can become infected and some do in the us.It is a terrible illness in most and can result in death..
