Why vaccinate your kids? Because measles can kill even years later. Erica Finkelstein-Parker's daughter, who infected as a baby, died at 8 1/2. www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-...

Measles infections pose far more risks than most realize, including a fatal neurological complication
The virus can cause “immune amnesia,” leaving patients more vulnerable to other infections.
