yes, the vaccinations are not 100%
has he had 1 MMR jab or 2?

Hope ds is OK.

2 of my DSs had measles after having the MMR. It is only about 90% effective I think.

From www.mmrthefacts.nhs.uk/basics/
After the first dose, between 5% and 10% of children are not protected against the diseases. After two doses of MMR, less than 1% are left unprotected.

Bad luck, hope he's not too poorly

Having measles will strengthen his immunity.

the doctor said it was a mild dose or whatever the word is.
