Depending on the age and other issues it can kill obviously. Hence the alert.

My daughter is a transplant recipient and takes immuno-supressants.. she has to keep her immune system "put to sleep" so she does not reject her organ. If she gets measles... she dies. I simply put this warning out so others who need to know and may not have heard it might see it on here.

Vaccination is NOT foolproof and many kids cant have the vaccine for various reasons. If you search on here there are several ATSers who have contracted measles who were vaccinated previously as children. With the new drive for parents not wanting their kids to receive the MMR due to certain reactions and allergies, it is important for them to be informed when alerts are released. My daughters transplant team emails me local alerts considering she is not only immunosupressed but is on delayed schedule with certain vaccinations. I just happened to run across this one as a headline news story.
