I got may Shingles vaccine today. I got it at Walgreens.
What was the circumstances and where is it likely she contracted the virus? Where and how has the host contracted the virus?
Please don't leave this to chance when a person dies from measles even in the face of a POTENTIALLY diminished immune system. She contracted it. That should be enough. It is dangerous to explain it away.

A Washington woman died from measles in the spring (click here) — the first measles death in the
U.S. since 2003 and the first in the state since 1990, health officials
said Thursday.
The woman lacked some of the measles' common symptoms, such as a rash,
so the infection was not discovered until an autopsy, Washington State Department of Health spokesman Donn Moyer said.
This is the 11th case of measles in Washington — and the sixth in Clallam County — this year, Moyer said.
Measles is highly contagious and spreads when an infected person
breathes, coughs or sneezes. However, dying from it is extremely rare,
Moyer said.
Officials didn't say whether the woman was vaccinated, but they did note
she had a compromised immune system. They withheld her age to protect
her identity but said she was not elderly.
