It is a highly contagious disease caused by the virus. Even though it is rare, almost 20 million cases of measles happen every year worldwide. 90% of the people who haven\u2019t been vaccinated will catch up measles if they are near the any measles infected person. Nowadays, Measles vaccines is given in combination with mumps and rubella and the type of measles vaccines available are as follows is in the form of MMR \u2013 II (Measles mumps and rubella vaccine). MMR\u00a0vaccine\u00a0is a live attenuated viral\u00a0vaccine\u00a0used to induce immunity against\u00a0measles, mumps and rubella. Giving two full doses will make sure that 99% of the people will be protected against the disease. Sometimes cases may happen that in spite of people taking vaccinations end up being infected and don\u2019t develop immune response to the disease thus leaving them vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-544 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/dataviz\/files\/2017\/01\/Chart-300x168.png\" alt=\"Chart\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/dataviz\/files\/2017\/01\/Chart-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/dataviz\/files\/2017\/01\/Chart-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/dataviz\/files\/2017\/01\/Chart.png 819w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The chart appropriately highlights the percentage of VAX rate, an indication of whether or not the person may end up being infected by measles.
