The MMR or Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccination is one of the most controversial vaccines to date. Even though the advantages of being vaccinated with this vaccine extremely outweigh any problems, many still question whether the vaccine is beneficial for themselves, and their children. Originally measles, mumps and rubella were all treated with separate vaccines. However, in the 1980’s the vaccine was combined into a three-in-one shot (MClean 6). The producer for this spectrum of vaccines,…

Stephen Cochi, a senior advisor for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 's global immunization division, claims “The measles virus is probably the most infectious disease known to mankind”.

Factors in Modeling: For measles specifically, both birth and vaccination rates heavily influence the resulting outbreak patterns associated with the disease. Through several case studies conducted by Earn, Rohani, and Bolker, it is revealed that higher birthrates typically indicate a cyclic pattern in measles epidemics, while lower birth rates combined with high vaccination rates result in irregular patterns (Earn, Rohani, & Bolker, 668). This phenomenon was especially apparent in the United…

My research paper will be on the importance of vaccinating your children. In the article Measles outbreak highlights vaccine debate Dr. Friedlander reports in Disneyland, "more than 80% of the reported cases occurred in unvaccinated people." This helps show how you can't always rely on herd immunity and that if people had been vaccinated the measles outbreak we had in 2015 wouldn't have traveled so far or infected as many people. In 5 myths surrounding vaccines – and the reality; I will talk…

Measles is one of the most contagious and rapidly spread viruses. It is important that measles be detected as soon as possible, because it is so contagious.

It is an airborne virus, which means it is spread through coughing and sneezing, but also can be spread by coming into contact with infected air. It can also be contracted by coming into contact with an infected surface, then in turn putting your fingers in mouth, nose, or rubbing…
