Measles is dangerous
1 in 5 unvaccinated children who contract measles require hospitalisation. Complications include pneumonia, brain inflammation (encephalitis), and death.
Herd immunity protects everyone
95% coverage is needed to protect those who cannot be vaccinated — including newborns and immunocompromised individuals.
