Good idea. If you're uncertain, you can always get your doctor to order a titre to check your resistance.
I just did this a couple months back and highly recommend it for peace of mind if nothing else
I just read an NPR article that said
“If you were vaccinated between 1968 and 1989, you likely received just one dose of the measles vaccine, instead of the two doses that are standard today.”
I’m covered with my 2 shots but anyone born before 1989 could benefit from another measles shot.
