Coronavirus Thread

Might not be long before measles gets its own thread, at this rate.
Me 'n' the wife are now scheduled for boosters on Wed morning.

For what it’s worth, it seems like even the smart people don’t seem concerned about needing a booster if you had the normal two doses as a kid.

The information that I'm going on is that if you were born in the USA in:
-1957 -- It is assumed you probably got measles as a kid and therefore possess immunity.
1958-1967 -- You might have been vaccinated once, but you also might have gotten the discontinued vaccine that does NOT confer long-term immunity, so you might want to get two new doses.
1968-1988 -- You were probably vaccinated at least once with the "good" vaccine, but you might want to check and see if you need to update that with a second dose.
1989- -- You were probably vaccinated twice with the "good" vaccine and should be fine, but you might want to check your records just to make sure.
