Have been alerted to the existence of an MMR drop in centre. Going to attend on Saturday to see if they’ll give me one to top up my 49 year old single measles vaccine.

Eilidh Troup reshared this.

Interested to know how it goes -- I'm in a similar position and have had pushback from GP when trying to get vaccines which are now routine in childhood.

@Sion [main] I asked my GP and got a link to this drop in thing so evidently they adopt a “yeah whatever” approach with this one, here.

I queried my GP about shingles and MMR and had twin punctures in my arm that afternoon. But, since I'm to old to have any of the MMR vaccines, it's a full course not a booster.
I have the impression they are keen to get them done.
Achey and cross the next day, but just a bit tender in the upper arm the day after.

I don't know when it changed, but the eligibility is simpler now than it used to be; between 70 and 80 instead of the tighter cohort it used to be.
I'm sorry to hear about your co-worker. It's miserable at any age, though not, I think, infectious in its own right. In
