I have no real trust in my local community (theres quite a few anti-vaccine people here).

    Get your titers checked by your doctor, that’s about the only other thing you can do. Especially if you were born before 1989, since you may have only had 1 measles vaccine instead of 2, which raises the effectiveness.

      Thanks, I got blood tested a couple of months ago and found I still have immunity. Which is a nice thing to find out going into this.

        If your titers are good and you’re masking then I don’t know of anything else to be done about it, since measles is airborne (even more so than COVID). Unless you’re immunocompromised those two things should protect you.

      86' baby, can confirm.

      ⚠️Except double-checking my childhood record’s, I did have my full 2-shot-series. 😱

      I got my third booster The First Go-Round.

      Upon getting my titer results, I asked what the deal was. Seems my timeframe didn’t get "The good stuff"?
