Any of yall had the measles vaccination, even if you had measles as a kid?

I’m wondering if I should have it

1. If you had the shot as a kid, it could still be effective...

I had to run a 'titration' test when I was working for after-school care because I wasn't gonna get poked oif I still had some of the antibodies...truns out I'm covered for all of them still, thank gawd.

2. My primary doc stated yes

I told doc that I wasn’t sure if I had the vaccine as kid. He recommended that I get one either way.

3. Don't think I've ever had the vaccine, but I had the disease all right

I sure don’t want to get it again

4. Yes. MMR boosters are recommended for adults.

I've had at least one.

5. I recently got the shot. My ACA insurance covered it. For me, there was no reason not to get it.

6. There are two types of measles: current measles is rubeola (red measles); the other is rubella ("German measles" )

If you do not have good records that make it clear you had "regular" measles infection as a child (rubeola, i.e., "red" measles) then you have two options:

1. have a titer drawn to see what your antibody level is.
2. Get the MMR regardless (not harmful to do so).

If you really had rubeola (regular measles circulating now), then your immunity should be lifelong. But, if in doubt, go to #1 or #2.

9. Just got the MMR

Made an appointment, went to CVS. Quick, easy.

Just had first grandchild, and original vaccination was pre 1965 so wanted to be sure.

10. I had to prove immunity for teaching a while ago. I had it as a kid but did the blood test.

Said I wasn't immune and had the vaccine.

I'm 58 if that helps (probably 50-ish when this happened). Might be worth just getting the shot if it isn't a monetary problem.
