According to an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Dr. William Schaffner, it is highly out of ordinary that someone who is insusceptible can’t be involved in spreading the disease. A baby who has received one shot of medicine for a specific disease considered as 95 percent protected against such disease. After getting two shots of medicine, the protection rate would go high to 97 percent. Measles VirusIn the case of vaccine failure, there are very few chances that any vaccinated person become infected with the disease and to spread or transmit measles. So, parents should take care of their children and their babies should be vaccinated properly for their healthy future. Most of the health organizations worldwide, working very hard to control major diseases with the cooperation and efforts of their local government. World Health Organization is also performing its positive role in providing much better health facilities to the people all around the world.

When considered in most of the cases, we noticed that the vaccine is effective. Dr. Schaffner further said that if we discover the measles virus in the vaccinated baby, the virus affected baby would not be able to spread the virus to the others. There is a main reason that the vaccinated baby’s body become as completely antibody because vaccination is surrounding in its body and it will kill the virus. The measles virus would not be able to grow in the vaccinated baby and this vaccinated baby can’t become as an agent or carrier to transmit virus to the others. That’s the main reason why the vaccinated children also protect the unvaccinated child. This is the main concept of immunity because the vaccinated babies also provide a much stronger barrier of protection for the unvaccinated children.
