Parents of the girl who died after measles infection said they would not receive the MMR vaccine

The parents of a young girl who died after contracting measles last month in West Texas are talking about their position in the MMR vaccine.

The child, at the age of 6, died on February 26th after being hospitalized in Lubbock, as reported by the State Department of Health Services Department in Texas.

The agency stated that it was “the first death by measles to the constant explosion in the southern plateaus and the Panhandle regions” – adding that the child was not vaccinated.

On March 15, the child’s parents spoke with the health protection of children about the experience in an interview that aired in “Good morning, CHD”.

The family lives in Seminole, Texas, in Gaines District, which is where most cases of measles occurred in the current explosion.

When the girl, called Kaylee, first got sick, parents said she realized it was measles because the disease was “going around” in their community.

Two days after the girl developed a rash, her mother brought her to the doctor, who provided a cough medicine and recommended fever reducing medicines.

Although Kaylee’s measles began to leave, she began to develop complications, including a fever that continued to grow, her parents told children’s health.

“And then I just noticed one morning that she was saying she was tired a lot, and I just noticed her breathing was not normal,” the girl’s mother said.

“This is when we decided to take it to the emergency room.”

In the hospital, in addition to measles, Kaylee was discovered that she had pneumonia in her left lungs.

It was accepted into ICU and dressed in a fan.

“I just remember before they wanted to put it in the fan that she was very eager,” the mother said in the interview.

“Her mouth was all contagious and I wanted to give the water, but they didn’t allow me.”

The child died shortly thereafter.

The other four children of the couple developed measles after their sister’s death – but everyone was healed after receiving breathing treatments, parents said.

Even after the death of their daughter, parents are not supporters of measles, mumps and rubella (MMR vaccine).

“We would not get absolutely mmr [vaccine]”Kaylee’s mother said.

“The measles wasn’t that bad. They crossed it very quickly.”

Coupleifti said they have not yet received their daughter’s death certificate, pointing out that it is possible that she died of pneumonia rather than measles.

The girl’s father added that measles can help “build people’s immune systems in the long run”.

“God makes no mistake and He wanted it to awaken people,” he told the health protection of children.

“He’s awake for us for us to start a better life and approach him.”

What to know about the MMR vaccine

Texas DSS has reported that most cases of measles were mainly unjust, school -aged children.

Measles is a highly contagious virus for those who have not been infected or previously vaccinated, with a 90% chance of transmission.

The MMR vaccine is one of the most common childhood inoculation and has been a demand for school participation since its development in the 1970s.

“Standard recommendation by health authorities such as CDC is a series of two doses of MMR vaccine,” the former contributor to Fox News Medical, Dr Nicole Saphier earlier.

“For most people, these two doses provide eternal immunity – about 97% effectiveness to measles.”

Every person’s situation is different and should be carefully weighed after a full conversation with a trusted medical team, Saphier added.

Dr. Marc Siegel, a clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center and Fox News’ Senior Medical Analyst, also emphasized the importance of measles vaccinations – “especially with the number of cases of circulating measles and subconscious people coming to the US at a time when there is a large world growth around the world.”

For those who are traveling in an area where a measles explosion is taking place, Siegel recommended that they see a doctor for a “titer test” of measles and get an amplifier if they are not showing immunity.

(Titre test measures an individual’s immune level to the virus.)

MMR is a live virus vaccine and cannot be given to pregnant women or immunocompromis people, the doctor noted.

Since March 20, a total of 378 confirmed cases of measles have been reported in 18 US states, according to the centers for control and prevention of diseases.
