@⠠⠵ avuko @Bích-Mây Nguyễn :verified: I was single vaccine measles. I’m too old to have had MMR.

When in doubt, a blood test can tell you if you have enough immunity or if you need a booster.

@bicmay Your doctor can answer that best. If you’re still unsure, revaccinate. It can’t hurt.

@DougN :coffeev:​ 😷 :CApride: @Bích-Mây Nguyễn :verified: It’s hard enough to get a doctor’s appointment when you’re literally dying of something. They ain’t going to do that.

Like, there are plenty of vaccinations I would dearly love to have (let’s start with a Covid booster, then shingles), but I simply cannot get them.

@gz @Bích-Mây Nguyễn :verified: in dual resident in the UK and Portugal and neither is going to give me a measles booster if I just rock up and ask for one. They’ll just tell me to fuck off.

I don't know how it works in Portugal. Do you still have an NHS GP at all, or could register as a temporary patient? Here, you'd be eligible to get the second dose of a measles-containing vaccine (they'd give you MMR). If they argue, you can direct them to NHS guidance (nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations…) under 'When older children and adults should have the MMR vaccine'

MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine

NHS information and advice about the MMR vaccine, which is a combined vaccine that protects against measles, mumps and rubella.
