How many people die from the measles vaccine in the US each year?

How many measles mumps and rubella vaccinations do you need?

What do vaccines prevent?
Vaccines prevent only the infectious diseases that they were made to prevent. For example, a vaccine for one type of flu will prevent that type of flu, but you may still get other types if you are not also vaccinated for them. This is why the seasonal flu vaccine usually contains vaccine for the three most likely types of flu that are expected to circulate at the next flu season. There are vaccines for the various types of influenza, for other viral diseases like measles, mumps and polio and for a very limited number of bacterial disease such as one common type of bacterial pneumonia. See the related questions below for more information about how vaccines work.
Which vaccine was being worked on in 1952?
Polio was the vaccine being worked on. It was discovered by Jonas Stalk in 1952. He depleted many cases of the disease.
What gets rid of the measles?
Measles is a viral infection and there is no known cure for this illness. Treatment consists solely of supportive measures and hopefully the infection is self-limiting. Measles actually can be a very dangerous illness and can have serious consequences such as pneumonia, encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), and can be potentially fatal. The infection is highly contagious and is a preventable illness-there is a widely available and strongly encouraged vaccine (please note-the rumors of the vaccine having a link to autism are completely untrue and have been discredited by many scientific studies). The best bet is to prevent Measles infection in the first place rather than focusing on how to get rid of Measles.

How many seconds is a vaccine?
A vaccine is a medicine for immunity and does not have "seconds". If you mean how many seconds does it take for the vaccine to be administered, then the injection of a vaccine usually only takes 5-10 seconds to put the vaccine into your body with a needle since the amount of vaccine needed is so small. If the vaccine is available in a nasal mist, the inhalation of a nasal mist takes as long as it takes for you to sniff. If you mean how long will the immunity last before you need a booster vaccination, you should check with your doctor about the type of vaccine you are getting (e.g. influenza, bacterial pneumonia, etc.). Depending on your age and the type of vaccine, some vaccinations need boosters every so often. Your doctor can tell you how long the one you are getting lasts.
How many kinds of measles are there?
There are two types of measles. Although they share some of the same symptoms, they are caused by different viruses: 1.) Standard measles, sometimes known as red measles, or hard measles, is caused by the rubeola virus. 2.) German measles, also known as rubella, is an entirely separate illness caused by the rubella virus and is usually a milder infection than standard measles.
How many people survived polio?
Polio was one of the most dreaded childhood diseases of the 20th Century in the United States. There were usually about 13,000 to 20,000 cases of paralytic polio reported each year in the US before the introduction of Salk inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) in 1955. Polio peaked in 1952 when there were more than 21,000 reported cases. The number of cases of polio decreased dramatically following introduction of the vaccine and the development of a national vaccination program. In 1965, only 61 cases of paralytic polio were reported compared to 2,525 cases reported cases just five years earlier in 1960.
