Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The MMR vaccine(measles, mumps and rubella vaccine) lasts for many years. As it relates particularly to measles , you can be immune in some cases for 30 years, so your friend should be immune.
Since you are not vaccinated, then there is a risk that you can develop the disease. If you notice any signs or symptoms then you may want to consider visiting your doctor for an assessment.
I hope this helps
