If you are older and were vaccinated against measles as a child, might be a good idea to ask if you need it again [View all]
Was vaccinated against measles in 1967 as a baby. Apparently, the vaccine wasn't as effective as it is now.
So, I was in the doctor's office yesterday for a checkup and asked about it. They ran my blood and it turns out, I am not immune, so tomorrow I'm getting the vaccine.
The PA (we don't get doctors in small town Iowa) said "well, it isn't like you're going to be exposed to it, so you don't really need the vaccine.
Yeah. Thinking this may require my switching health care providers, even if it means driving to another town.
Anyway, if you were vaccinated between 1963 and 1967, you might want to ask about this.
