Mina et al estimated that before the MMR vaccine, potentially up to half of all childhood deaths were associated with measles due to "immune amnesia" from the measles virus. A truly terrible virus. And the MMR vaccine is one of our most effective vaccines.

Theoretically we could eradicate measles if we were committed enough as measles only has a human reservoir. We eliminated measles in the Americas through vaccination.
