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?

[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

Well, shit. I hope so.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

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