As I schedule a measles booster over fifty years after what I assumed was my last one, I'm thinking about how many people the murderous ghoul RFKjr has and will slaughter.

I got one about 10 years ago in my late 30’s on my pcp’s recommendation. Also, the whooping cough vaccine lasts about 10 years. I just got a new one a few weeks ago.
I think they’re generally saying people born before 1968 should get a booster. Do you know if you got two doses as a kid? If you only got one you should likely get another.
It definitely doesn’t hurt at all to get a booster, or you could have a titer blood level checked if you want specific data.
I asked my doctor a few years ago because I work at a public library and I was worried about exposure but I think she would’ve said yes even if I didn’t have a reason. I’m 47 now and def. had one when I was a kid.
Thought about asking my doc if getting a MMR booster was a good idea but haven’t yet.
I did get a Covid booster last week though, figured might as well while they’re available.
My parents made plans for doctor appointments to check antibody levels and see if they need a booster after I sent them that article. (We live in Texas.) Even if you’d probably recover from measles fine, it’d still be an awful experience. Glad some people are taking this seriously.
He had brain surgery to remove brain cysts supposedly caused by eating raw meat without any cognitive damage??? In favor of his fathers killer being paroled, dumped a bear carcass off in Central Park because the thought it would be funny?!?!?! His own kid confirmed a dead whale head story!
This is the best Trump could find to be in charge of The Department of Health and Human Services?!?!?!
Just like the rest of his picks and his own agenda of making a buck, keeping his 34 count convicted felon and rapist supporting rapists ass out of prison!
All the while he had his own kids vaccinated! No shade about his drug history but to gaslight decades later saying heroin was why he did well in college?!?!?! But drug addition destroys and takes lives daily including his own family more than once!
There is less misinformation about animals getting vaccines than humans. Also, some people seem to care more about the reproductive health of their dog/cat than their neighbors.
There are a bunch of anti-science, anti-vax folks all over the world. I'm hoping we can overcome this but I'm worried about how many we will not be able to bring with us in the long run 😞
People like you are exactly why we need super high vaccination levels. We need to protect people who LEGITIMATELY can’t get immunized or are immunocompromised. I’m sorry you’re going through this. Please be careful.
If you grew up in WI and got your immunizations there, they have a website where it’s pretty easy to check your past doses. Obviously this may not work for everyone but helped me for doses given in the 1980s:
In 2018 I was immunocompromised and exposed to Measles at a hospital. They were able to do a blood test and verify that my childhood vaccines held. Trust them, they work!
I go in for my yearly checkup in 3 months. I’ll be asking for any and all adult vaccines I may need, rolling the dice is not a chance I’m willing to take
Just emailed my doctor about getting a test and/or a booster. He’s a new doc for me so will be very interested in how he replies. I have to go to TX for work and I have no concrete evidence of my vax history from childhood so hoping he takes me seriously.
Thank you, I didn’t even realize I could just get that as an adult. I have bloodwork coming up anyway and honestly I am kind of curious, so I will wait and see what he says (but could to know I can proceed either way).
If you don’t have documentation of childhood MMRs I would get the booster regardless of what he says (though hopefully he’s good!). You can usually go to any Walmart or CVS for a vaccination (I schedule online ahead of time).
My doctor required a test before getting the booster since I am Gen Jones and vulnerable in the immunization timeline. I would have happily taken the shot no questions asked. I ponder the medical need for testing first but appreciate vaccines and science.
Interesting. Definitely doesn’t hurt to check a titer, but it is more work and inconvenience that I fear some people won’t bother with. I know our Walgreens will let you get the vaccine there without a separate physician order. That may vary by state though.
got mine last year as the counts were rising in Europe, and here in Canada…thanks to all the MAGA chuds and anti-science fools for creating a less safe world
I’m amazed that anyone would trust a man who spent 14 years injecting heroin to be in charge of the publics health. That isn’t even taking into consideration his total lack of medical knowledge and conspiracy theory garbage!
I have been discussing this too. I was born in 1965 and got my measles shot Feb. 17, 1966. (I found my shot records on the back of my birth certificate). There was no MMR back then, I received my Rubella and Mumps shots separately in 1970. I am going to ask my doctor about having my titers checked.

May also depend on your location and if you’re near an outbreak. If I were near the Texas outbreak currently, I’d personally get a booster.
Then consider getting back to masking. Thanks.

In case you don't know, we have a lot of dumbasses in Canada too.
