Measles is caused by a virus in the paramyxovirus family and it is

normally passed through direct contact and through the air. The virus
infects the respiratory tract, then spreads throughout the body. Measles is a
human disease and is not known to occur in animals.Measles is very
contagious and can be serious. An unvaccinated child can get measles
when traveling or playing outside. Some people think of measles as just a
little rash and fever that clears up in a few days, but measles can cause
serious health complications, especially in children younger than 5 years
of age. There is no way to tell in advance the severity of the symptoms
your child will experience. Measles spreads through the air when an
infected person coughs or sneezes. It is so contagious that if one person
has it, up to 9 out of 10 people around him or her will also become
infected if they are not protected. Your child can get measles just by being
in a room where a person with measles has been. Further complicating
matters is the way health officials try to bring an outbreak under control.
The best protection against measles is measles-mumps-rubella (MMR)
vaccine. MMR vaccine provides long-lasting protection against all strains
of measles. Several reasons explain why vaccination rates in the
Philippines aren't up to where public health officials say they need to be.
It's a lower-middle-income country spanning more than 7,000 islands with
a limited health care budget. So there's the sheer difficulty of getting
vaccines to everyone who needs them. In high-income countries where
measles patients quickly get medical attention, deaths from the disease are
rare. But in the Philippines and other less wealthy parts of the world,
measles is still potentially fatal.
