Reminder for GenX, you might not have full immunity (or any) to measles. When the MMR Vax was given to us we only got one shot. In 2009 my titers were OK. In 2019 I had zero immunity, so I got a booster. They started giving 2 shots for Millenials. 💉💉🧪

Measles requires 95% vaccination rates for herd immunity.
It has a 16.2% case fatality rate for unvaccinated children under 5 years and 24% for children under 9 months (who are unable to be vaccinated).
30% of the survivors experience severe complications like blindness, deafness, or encephalitis.

Or like me, your immune system may have crapped out and you just don’t make antibodies to the measles vaccine.
Always good to check
