Depends what you consider enhanced. You will have lifelong immunity, or most people will, there’s always the odd person that won’t develop any immunity. I don’t think anyone is really sure how long immunity from vaccines last. They used to say it was lifelong, but are discovering that is not true, which is one reason that we went from needing only one MMR to now needing two and possibly a booster as we get older.

"Depends what you consider enhanced"

The article doesn't read that the vaccine was designed for illness other than measles. It just suggests that exposure to the virus in the vaccine "...may protect against other diseases" so one wonders if exposure to the measles virus strengthens the immune system against measles as well as other illness.
