Am I Still At Risk As I Was Potentially Exposed To Red Measles?
I just received a call from my Public Health nurse that I was potentially exposed to Red Measles 7 days ago. I was vaccinated for Mumps, measles and rubella back in 1979 however never received the booster. Am I at risk or do I still have immunity?
