In 1875 The departing King of Fiji -- Seru Epenisa Cakobau went on a state visit to Australia. Upon his return to Fiji, he gave to his people something they would truly remember him by.
On his trip, he and his family had unknowingly contracted measles and it spread rappidly amoungst the unvaccinated population, killing 50,000 out of 150,000 one third of Figi's population.
Measles will spread quickly through an unvaccinated population.
In the 21st Century we are lucky to have vaccines to prevent this sort of devastation.
Remember -- Vaccinations Save Lives.
