Believe me jackyalex, I am no expert here, but the injection is a mild form of the illness . and once you have had measles, antibodies form to kill it off if it attacks again. That's how the injection works. Tells your body that you have already had it (cause you have) so attacks any further would be invaders. The first injection only covers your children by a certain percentage, and that's why you are advised to go for the second, as this will increase the percentage to almost 100% immunity. In other words, does stop you from getting the illness in the first place.
Help, any medics out there !!.. may be talking load of balderdash, but basically know tis correct.
