Have you had a measles/mumps/rubella vaccination? If you're unsure, or either way, give your GP a call. It's as easy as that.

I've had two. Once as a baby and once during my college years. Apparently the vaccinations for that in the early 1970s were found to be insufficient. My university sent a letter saying to get another or I wouldn't be able to attend classes. I got another. No biggie!

I read they're having an outbreak in Brooklyn, in NY. That can easily spread far and wide from there. People who haven't had the vaccination are pretty much strongly told to get one. The fact is, children and adults that are not vaccinated put not only themselves at risk, but people who legitimately can't get them, such as children with serious heart problems. The latter can easily die from illnesses like measles. They depend on others to get the vaccinations to protect them. The more people who don't, the more likely it will spread again widely and kill or injure people. It has been known to affect people's eyes, hearing, and lead to pneumonia among other things.
