How you know when you're entering your second childhood... you get vaccinated. Again!
There are now two confirmed cases of the measels in the greater DC area, and according to the CDC, there is a question of the efficacy of the vaccine in the prime years I would have gotten jabbed. On the basis of "can't hurt, might help" I've signed up to get the adult MMR next week.
I've actually had the second M in that combination, so whatever vaccination I got either didn't take (if it was MMR) or was the pre-MMR version.
You'd be surprised how hard it is to get adult vaccs. Fortunately, my doctor pointed me at Passport Medical, which does vaccinations for travel. I said I was going to the UK (true, if not true in the near future) but frankly, "I'm going to Fairfax" counts these days!
