MODERATORS
If you were born before 1989 then you may have only been vaccinated a single time; a second dose takes the vaccine effectiveness from 93% to 97%.
So if you’ve don’t have access to your childhood vaccine records, then as other have suggested asking you doctor to run titers for measles is the best way to protect yourself.
