I was wondering how long the vaccine lasted. 18 years? I had measles as a kid but my children were vaccinated and then had to get a booster when they went to college. How long will the booster last? And what about all the people that never got a booster because they didn’t go to college?

I’m not sure how long the booster lasts. I hope we don’t have to find out just how much of the population is vulnerable. I know it is fashionable not to vaccinate kids now, but people forget what the diseases the vaccines protect against do. 100 years ago a fair percentage of kids did not survive to adulthood. I hope we are not going to see a return to those days. Or find out what happens when a disease such as measles spreads through an older adult population whose immunity from being vaccinated years ago is now gone.....
