Maybe that is not true. last year +/-2200 cases were reported. So far this year, +/-1400 cases have been reported so we are on track for case numbers to easily double from year to year. We know vaccines work and are safe. The Heroin addict at HHS (with zero medical background past the use of street drugs) should know better but .

it wouldn't hurt to get a measles titer blood test to see if you still have immunity.
I did, along with the polio titer.
You just don't know otherwise.

was not immune. I had a new shot and was immune after the first one, didn't have to get the second.
I am glad I had it checked.
