PSA: I’m turning 55 next month, and there’s an issue with people who got vaccinated for measles around the same time I did as a kid having waning immunity.

@Jude_theone479001 @overholt Maybe just not at the same time? Whew.. that second dose was a doozy! That night my heart raced a good 30 bpm higher and a few hours of flu like symptoms about 10 hours after getting it.

@Jude_theone479001 @overholt Correct.. Just want people who consider themselves "relatively healthy" to be aware. After my first shot I just assumed it was going to be a cake walk!

@overholt This is really interesting. I'm wondering if anyone who's replied is in the UK? We can't just request vaccines on the NHS, for example I wasn't eligible for a free flu jab this year, but this is something I could look into getting done privately, esp as I have a health plan through work instead of a pay rise
@callunavulgaris @overholt I'm in the UK, and had the full spread of jabs in 2019. When I heard there was a fresh outbreak of measles near my family I visited my local GPs to be told the NHS has no records of my childhood jabs from the 1970s. The doctor said there was no harm in having them all again 40+ years later.
