It was because the vaccine generated actively acquired immunity, that is, inoculation of a portion of the measles virus so that the body forms the antibodies for a second contact and thus can destroy it without triggering the pathology.

Explanation:

Vaccines are methods of active acquired immunity since the antibody is not passively inoculated, it is manufactured by the body with a physiological process once part of the virus is inoculated.

The measles virus most of all affected the lives of infants or newborn children with severe rashes and high fevers that led to death.
