* 1 in 5 unvaccinated people who get measles are hospitalized
* 1 in 20 children with measles get pneumonia
* 1 to 3 in 1000 die

* 1 in 5 unvaccinated people who get measles are hospitalized
* 1 in 20 children with measles get pneumonia
* 1 to 3 in 1000 die
If you're not immune, close contact with an infected person gives you measles 90% of the time
