CDC Warns Vaccinated People Can Still Get Measles

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning people that even those who have received a measles vaccine can still contract the disease.

“Although vaccinated individuals are at low risk of acquiring measles, breakthrough infections can still happen,” the CDC said in a Feb. 2 post on X.

Dr. Ralph Abraham, the CDC’s new principal deputy director, wrote in a letter published Feb.1 in The Wall Street Journal that “although immunization coverage for measles is superior in the U.S. compared to peer countries, we can’t rely exclusively on vaccination.”

Officials pointed to a Jan. 29 report in the CDC’s quasi-journal that detailed how an unvaccinated person who lives outside of Colorado traveled through the Denver International Airport in 2025 while infectious with measles.
An investigation uncovered nine secondary cases and one tertiary case associated with the traveler’s international flight and time in the airport. Of those 10 cases, five occurred among people who had received two doses of the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine before exposure, researchers with the CDC and health institutions in Colorado said. One other person may have received a vaccine in the past.

Blame whomever you want for the misunderstanding, vaccines are not and never have been magic silver bullets (or mithril armor) totally preventing infection by the target virus or bacterium. What actually happens is that there is a time delay between the disease organism entering a person's body and the person's immune system recognizing, producing antibodies for, and destroying the disease organisms. In that time, the infection process begins in which reproduction of the virus/bacterium starts. The duration of that time delay is a matter of chance, how long before the disease organism is detected.

Had measles as a kid...

I've got the smallpox vaccine scar from back in the 60's...

When we were kids, didn't the measles vax give us a mild case, thus enabling us to develop immunity? At least, that's what happened to me. I remember being in bed for a day or two.

Don't know when the measles vaccine was first approved. I got the measles at some single-digit age (early-mid 1960s). My parents must have had it as children or at least before I was born, as they didn't isolate me beyond my staying home from school.

Never had the measles or mumps.  Had a mild case of chicken pox though. 
When googling these illnesses I saw where Small pox has been eradicated.  The last naturally occurring case was diagnosed in October 1977, and the World Health Organization certified the global eradication of the disease in 1980, making smallpox the only human disease to have been eradicated to date.

We were well on the way to eradicate Polio too.  But some of the 3 world shitholes wouldn't cooperate.

I had measles, mumps, and chicken pox all when I was in 2nd grade, and I was only in 2nd grade for half a year. I spent a LOT of time at Mamaw's house that spring.

I do have a lovely smallpox scar, but don't recall getting that vaccine.  Presumably, i was too young to remember it.

Boomers have the mark!  I don't remember getting it either.  But I have the brand!

I distinctly remember getting a polio vaccine on a cube of sugar while at school in the third grade.

I remember my mom having it, I saw it early in life and until very late could still see the Gatling gun effect.

My husband got one of those too.

I think they stopped bothering right after Hubby because I never got one.

I'm pretty sure I got mine at school before 3rd grade. They lined us up and inflicted pain on our shoulders...

I'm pretty sure I got the smallpox scar before I started school, but the polio vaccine was at school for sure 2nd or third grade, and we got it on a cube of sugar.

Same. I read that they stopped giving them in 1972, so that would have been before I started school.

I have the Mark of the Vax, . I vaguely remember it being done, probably between ages 6 and 8. Back when I was able to donate blood, there was a carelessly worded question among the screening questions, whether I had been vaccinated for smallpox. The purpose of the question was a relatively recent round of vaccinations, but because the question was non-specific I always answered "Yes" and had to explain to the (young) nurse/aid that more or less every Boomer had been vaccinated as a child.

I distinctly remember getting a polio vaccine on a cube of sugar while at school in the third grade.

Likewise, in the early 60s. I was single-digit-aged, and the distribution was at the local high school. IIRC, I went with my family on a Sunday after church. Also IIRC, a drop of pinkish liquid was put on the sugar cube.

Anyone out there, besides me, get shot with a vaccine gun?
