Those of you born in 1957, please let us know what your doctor says!! I know I had measles! Probably around 1962 to 63!

I had the measles too. Not sure which kind, but recall getting Rubella vaccine at school. Guess I’ll check with my PC.

I have a friend who is 58 years old, who’s getting a 2 part measles vaccine.

My older son, born in 1967, was concerned enough that he had a measles titer done. I was sure he would have gotten whatever vaccine was available, but the first measles vaccine apparently wasn’t so effective as the later ones. His immune response was ok.

I remember those measles days, and I also remember that the older you were when you got measles, the sicker you became.
