Measles is a very dangerous infection in infants and young children. It can and does kill. Mumps in adolescents can and does lead to multiple complications from meningitis to sterility.
Preventing these highly infectious diseases is certainly worth paying attention to.

Measles and mumps would be a non issue with infants and young children because their bio moms would have had the diseases and conferred immunity. As my doc said when the vaccine first came out: the deaths pool has been moved from compromised older children and adults to infants.
