I read that only 627 people in the US claim to have gotten measles after taking the vaccine. But it was 2 shots so if a person didnt take both shots, the odds of getting it go up. Every article I read said it was impossible to get it twice.

Well I can tell you for a fact those articles are wrong. Now understand I also had some other underlying conditions when I was very young that may have contributed to it but I can assure I had both shots and got it twice.

According to the CDC if only one shot is taken you have 7% chance to still get the measles, if both shots were taken you have a 3% chance to still get the measles. Mayo Clinic and John Hopkins report the same as well.
Also understand I was part of the first cohort in the US to receive the combined MMR vaccinations. Prior to that you took them separate. It it reported that then there was a failure rate close to 5% on the vaccinations which I assume has improved over time. I also was dealing with an immune deficiency issue they believe caused the second round within 6 months of assuming treated and cured of the 1st round. I was hospitalized at this point dealing with it among other things.
