39. Since I was vaccinated against measles during a time

Wed Apr 2, 2025, 10:53 AM

Apr 2

when they are not really sure if the vaccination that I received was enough, I just had my titers tested for measles, mumps, and rubella. I did have the mumps with my brother, and although he had the measles, that was before I was born. I also recall being vaccinated against rubella or German measles, when I was a preteen. It turns out that all of my immunity is extremely strong. I was born in 1958.
