This is from npr.org. But the advice is from CDC. It is different from what it says on the CDC website now. 🤷‍♀️ Anyway I got was born in 59 and I went and got an MMR shot last week.

“But public health experts say there are some adults who should consider getting revaccinated. That includes older adults who were born after 1957 and were vaccinated before 1968.

That's because early versions of the measles vaccine were made from an inactivated (killed) virus, which didn't work particularly well, Offit says. That's why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that anyone vaccinated before 1968 get at least one dose of the live attenuated vaccine.”
