Just a note from me. When my brother had to do his military service in the Bundeswehr, he got the measles. He was an adult (I think he was 19 or 20) and suffered from a childhood disease. That's always a dangerous combination. He collapsed during exercise, after that the doctor diagnosed measles. They sent him home. He took a bath and we suddenly hurt him calling. He wasn't able to move and my mum and I had to hoist him out of the tub and carry him to his bed. When my father came home they went to the hospital. It was horrible. There still could be complications we don't know yet, like infertility. I am vaccinated against measles or else I would have had to move out for the time being, and I had to stay away from one of my friends because she was pregnant at that time. Also, my grandmother's sister got the measles when she was an adult; she died from it.
