What most people don’t realize is that childhood vaccinations don’t actually last forever. It’s been probably 30 years since I completed most of my vaccinations as a toddler, but when I got my most recent job (at a healthcare provider), they tested me and I needed boosters for some childhood vaccines due to losing immunity.
Interesting.
Thankfully the vaccine has at least 90% efficacy if not more, so it’s unlikely that unvaccinated people could still give you measles if you’ve been vaccinated. (https://www.cdc.gov/measles/about/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/measles/data-research/index.html)
Sucks for those who genuinely can’t have it though, and rely on herd immunity
