Measles

http://newsthump.com/2011/05/27/why-are-all-my-children-getting-measles-ask-homeopathy-fans/

The above link from Newsthump is a satirical look at the failure of some parents to have their children vaccinated against measles.
The scare about the MMR vaccine 10 years ago meant that a lot of people didn't get their kids immunised. 
I think people forget that until the arrival of penicillin measles was often a killer disease and even now can lead to complications. 
Measles is a very serious disease which I think the labelling under "Childhood diseases" tends to trivialise.
