It was reported in the press a few weeks ago that a 26 year old man in Germany died of measles.

Vaccine safety became a concern for me again recently when a friend of mine’s 1 year old son received his first vaccine and later that day (after being a perfectly healthy boy) had his first, of many to follow, seizure.
