I was in that age group that got the first measles vaccines that weren't as effective, so I was revaccinated as a teenager. I think. They had to redo something, and it was drama because I fainted afterwards.

Then I may have been vaccinated when they took out my spleen as part of cancer treatments a few years later (they had to redo some, because the spleen is long-term storage for the immune system's memory cells).

Then I had to provide proof of immunity to enter my sister's dorm room because of an outbreak of mumps; they couldn't find the paper records in time so I had a shot again. Don't know if it was MMR or just mumps.

Then when I was planning on getting pregnant, they weren't sure whether I was still immune to rubella, so I was vaccinated again, once again, I don't know if it was MMR or rubella only.

I may have been vaccinated just in childhood with a questionably effective batch, or up to four times! Thank goodness the doctor did an antibody test last month, and yes, I'm immune.

Since I'm not actually supposed to get live-virus vaccines (like measles) if there's any way to avoid it, it's a relief!
