    “Fun” story, I got my MMR 3x as a kid and another 3x as an adult because my antibody titers were and remain undetectable (i’m not immunocompromised on any level). With the current events I really hope my T-cells are ready for the heavy lifting 😅

    Of course, according to RFK Genius, I’d need lower doses not higher because “race”.

      Ok, I just asked this further but as an adult should I be seeking boosters? If I live in a deeply red state, will my doctor balk at the request?

        You can request your titers to be checked (pretty routine) and if they are low/undetectable you can get a booster. That’s what they do for healthcare workers (at least in the 3 states I practiced in).

          Ty when I make the request do I need to be specific about which diseases I’m concerned about or is it going to automatically cover everything?

            It’s disease specific so you should ask for measles antibody titers. Again, it’s a pretty reasonable request, especially if you have risk factors.
