My healthcare provider had me tested for Measles antibodies because apparently that shit can wear off after 50 years in some people.
I was still good with Mumps and Rubella, but was wide open to Measles.
So I got an MMR vaccine (available at Walgreens, CVS, etc) and I’m good to go.
So if you’re over 50, you might want to get tested or simply just ask your your doctor for their opinion about getting another shot.
adults born between 1963, when the first measles vaccine was approved, and 1968. During that period, some children received an inactivated (killed) measles vaccine that was less effective than the live vaccine.
People born before 1957 are considered to have “presumptive evidence” of immunity, because nearly everyone born during this period got the disease during childhood. But health-care workers born before 1957 who don’t have proof of immunity should consider getting the vaccine.
I had the MMR when I was a kid then again before collage because it was easier than trying to find what happened to my pediatrician’s records after they retired.

Most of us who went to college that required the MMR are good for life according to the CDC.
