I hear that the CDC is recommending that anyone travelling abroad get vaccinated for measles. No matter where they're going.
"Never had it, never will." (Are you old enough to remember that 7-Up commercial?)
If my doctor recommended testing as part of my annual blood draw, and Medicare would pay for it, I might consider checking to see if my antibody response is still robust after all this time. After all, it has been a few years since I had the measles.
As it turns out, the CDC is okay with that. If you dig down just a little from the scary news stories and read what the CDC actually says, they acknowledge that if you've had measles in the past, you're good to go.
