We often hear, "well what if my child has a bad reaction to the MMR vaccine?" But what about, "what if my child gets severely ill from measles?"

Both are real concerns from parents. But one is a much greater risk for children.

Most children who get the MMR vaccine have no or only mild side effects. But measles can lead to high fever, spreading rash, pneumonia, swelling of the brain, and even death.
