Unfortunately yes. Measles is a lot more than a rash. It is a highly contagious respiratory virus. 1 in 20 will develop pneumonia and sepsis is often a complication. So when parents decide not to vaccinate their kids, they seem to miss how serious measles is and that the vaccine is safe & effective
