Not usually. People who are vaccinated are considered protected against measles for their lifetime.Health care providers can test for antibodies and give boosters if needed.Getting another MMR shot as an adult is harmless if there are concerns about waning immunity, the CDC says.

I couldn’t hear them over my own groans. Hooray for the communal experience, I guess?
