Evidently these Afghans are bringing in measles and other diseases and are free to enter towns near the Bases! I'm hoping to get a Doctor to respond but I'm sure some expert will tackle this question

It depends. There was a period in the late 50s/early 60s that the vaccine was not as effective and there were breakthrough cases. I know. I was one of them. There were enough cases to make it into a news magazine, as I remember reading about it while I was in bed.
