    So, I had to get a MMR for school. Did this guy not go to school, or was it just my schools that wanted people vaccinated?

      Does MMR work indefinitely without a booster? Some vaccine schedules are based on an assumption of herd immunity and won’t work in a world where more people don’t vaccinate. I don’t know about MMR specifically, though.

          It doesn’t. Health workers need titers and frequently that reveals they need a booster.

            Well, I guess I’ll be asking my Dr about that.
