Northwestern University pediatric infectious disease professor Dr. Ravi Jhaveri said vaccines are like umbrellas. While they won't always keep you from getting wet in a terrible storm with sideways rain, they will prevent you from getting soaked.
The first dose gives a person 95% protection from measles, but the virus "is so proficient at finding the vulnerable person, we need to do better than 95%," said Jhaveri, chief of infectious diseases in the department of pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and head of the infectious diseases division at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.
