Inoculating children against measles provides a positive externality because it not only benefits the child but also benefits others by reducing the spread of the disease. This is because fewer carriers of the disease means lower probability of transmission to others who may not have been able to immunize themselves, such as infants who cannot be immunized because they are too young or individuals who can't receive immunization due to medical reasons.
