     @iquaanyin So glad I got a Measles-Mumps-Rubella booster this spring. I am in that demographic where my original vaccine was likely no longer effective and was relying on herd immunity to keep me safe. Well that went out the door with the onslaught of anti-vaxxers.

     @billyjoebowers @iquaanyin I was born in 1960—and may have been improperly vaccinated against measles. So it was recommended that people born in the 60s get an MMR booster if they live in or will be traveling to places with measles outbreaks. https://www.healthline.com/health-news/some-adults-need-to-be-revaccinated-against-measles-021115
