Jim Noble :" The correct answer is “maybe”. "
If you are concerned, the best thing to do is to have a blood test for immunity
(it’s called “rubeola immune screen” or sometimes “measles immune screen”)."

Thanks Jim !
Many of the new immigrants and travelers are bringing diseases that we long ago had eliminated in this country.
We risk exposure especially if we don't recall which vaccines and diseases we have already had during our youth.
International travelers have a list of which shots and vaccines on their medical record,
perhaps now the general public should similarly obtain their medical records of vaccines and disease exposures.
The "“rubeola immune screen” or sometimes called “measles immune screen” is a worthwhile test,
and should be covered by most medical insurance.

I should have that done. My husband had the test, and he’s immune, even though he has no history of having measles..

A titer test can be done easily. I need one because I’m still not fully immunized after my bone marrow transplant. I’ve only had one NMR so far. So, my transplant dr needs me to get a titer test. But, I’d think the average person shouldn’t need one.
