Measles vaccine for seniors?

If you are going to be around little ones regularly, than it seems to me that getting the vaccines for measles, etc. could help all involved…each to their own, but I prefer trying to protect us best I can.

I'm so thankful I had two doses of MMR back before I was on a biologic. I can no longer get a live vaccine like the MMR (it has a live-attenuated virus).

I probably also had the vaccine as a child, but no records. My pediatrician (who was my grandmother's cousin) had polio as an intern in the 1950s and he was very pro-vaccine. So was my mother - with four children, why would you want any of them ill? Of course we all got chickenpox and mumps; the vaccines weren't out yet. I remember standing at the window watching all the other kids walking to school - and being very, very, itchy, even though I was slathered in calamine lotion .

@susanf8 Your mother sounds like mine! Four kids, my elderly grandpa living with us, and my mom a classroom teacher. Anything contagious flattened the household for weeks. She'd tear up with gratitude over the polio vaccine.
