That's pretty bad parenting to not get their kid the recommended vaccines and then go to a country where measles is common.

It is frustrating that this happens. I remember reading about other outbreaks starting the same way. Also, I think even if your baby is between 6-12 months old, many healthcare providers will give your child the vaccine early if they know you're planning this kind of travel with an infant. I just don't know how much awareness of that there is with parents. There definitely needs to be better outreach and education around all of this.
