Vaccinated and caught measles?

What I didn’t know then was that a prescription medication I was taking for eczema had possibly caused my immune system to become vulnerable to measles

Okay, so maybe not so worrying to the vaccinated.

Check out @Akuchimoya@startrek.website 's comment. A person's immune system may not "remember" the vaccine, so they need to be vaccinated again.

Being vaccinated doesn't mean that you 100% sure won't get infected

It means that the chance you do get infected is extremely much smaller and if you do, typically your body can.fight better and you get less sick.

Combined with a coverage of 98% of the population it typically causes that that viral infection disappears completely

All vaccines do is expose your immune system to something to be on the look out for. Thus vaccines are only good as your immune response is. Thats why its so important to have herd immunity, so people with weak immune systems will be less likely to be exposed to diseases.
