Measles vaccine for seniors?

I’m old enough that I had the “red” measles, the “German”’measles, mumps and chicken pox. May have missed whooping cough and polio which some friends had caught. Only knew one person who had ever had smallpox. My great aunt was made permanently deaf as an 8 year old by the measles.

I, too, had mumps and chicken pox. I escaped polio and whooping cough, and I can't think of anyone who had smallpox. So sorry to hear of the effects of measles on your great aunt.
