Going to check in with my Dr. this week! The guidelines say “ if you were born before 1957 “ you should be OK” ; “ If you’re born after 1957 and got the not live vaccine before 1968 is it.. you need a booster”. Ok I was born IN 1957 … haha! So I think I would like them to check my antibody first … and then go from there.

Ditto. I was born in '57 .. so I'm checking with my GP this coming week. My wife is a '58 baby but she got a measles vaccination last week at her Medicare Wellness Exam.

and truly, how in the world would we know what shots we got as kids, other than the old polio vaccine scar on shoulder?
