    Hi , There is no extra risk because of your relatives COPD , shingles or a bad stomach is the worst case scenario. I was diagnosed with Advanced COPD and have been helping other sufferers since. And Ive not heard measles to be serious risk to anyone.

    If they have previously had measles then no risk, possibly chance of shingles but wont affect the asthma etc,
