Measles matters, but do parents know?

S Blair et al. Br Med J (Clin Res Ed). .

Abstract

Two hundred and one parents attending three child health clinics were questioned about both measles and immunisation against measles. Most parents were unaware of the symptoms and possible complications of measles and did not believe immunisation to be effective in preventing measles. They did not remember having talked to health professionals about immunisation.
