Huh, I should probably get that test. It's not in my state yet but measles is one of the most contagious viruses, so it would be good to know. I may very well have gotten boosted at some point, being pro-vaccine, but it's been a lot of decades.

I'd get tested sooner rather than later: spring break is this month, and I fully expect all the mixing students to bring measles back to their various campuses, where it'll have 6-8 weeks more to spread before everyone brings it back home for the summer.
