Many cases reported in the United States this year were linked to international travel, according to the C.D.C., as travel destinations such as Britain, Austria and the Philippines have had outbreaks. Many of the people in the United States who have been infected have been unvaccinated children age 12 months and older.

For what it’s worth, babies under 12 months are not typically given the measles vaccine. We specifically asked our doctor if we could get our 9 month old vaccinated early in light of the outbreak. They wouldn’t do it.

Asking about it shows that you accept science and give a damn. More parents should follow your example!
