Me and the wife were just talking about this at supper. I do think a booster could be required. Quick call to your doc office could confirm that.

Your doc can run a titer to see if you have protection...if not then get another vaccine. A titer is an easy blood test.

I read the other day on a story about measles, that if your were born before 1989, you should have another immu given.
Best to do some research, I was always understood once you had the immu you were ok, but new ones probably are built different now than when I had mine, in the early fifties !
Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !

As of January 2, 2019, there have been 1,258 claims filed so far in the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) for 82 deaths and 1,176 injuries that occurred after measles vaccination. Of that number, the U.S. Court of Claims administering the VICP has compensated 483 children and adults, who have filed claims for measles vaccine injury.22

1 in 4million die from the smallpox vaccine. This is a very small number compared to the deaths that would result in an unvaccinated population. It is also about the same percentage that died from the measles vaccine IF you accept the 82 claims as being correct. Measles also causes a much higher death rate in unvaccinated populations. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) said on September 21, 2018, that 6,629 measles cases, including 72 deaths, from 11 countries have been reported in North, Central, and South America. The vast majority of these measles cases are from Venezuela, which reported 4,605 cases, and 62 deaths. The odds are definitely in favor of getting vaccinated, but there are those unlucky few and I have to wonder if they would have been among those who would have died from the disease anyway.

I don't remember my kids getting smallpox vaccinations. I think they quit giving it unless someone is traveling. I don't think they still give polio either. They still check for tb exposure.

I think scarlet fever is something you get after whooping cough which does have a vaccination. Like getting pneumonia after getting the flu.
