In 1960, three years before the first measles vaccine was approved for use in the U.S., there were approximately 442,000 reported measles cases and 380 related deaths10, 11 among the 3.5 to 5 million Americans who likely were infected with measles. 12 13 In 1969, measles deaths were estimated at 1 in 10,000 cases.14
US population:
| Jul 1, 1960 | 180.67 million |
That's about 2 in a million dying from measles.
So tell me why we need a vaccine for this?
