    quick reminder: if you’re an adult, get a fucking MMR booster. It’s free if there’s no record of a second booster, and if you were born last century then the records sure as shit ain’t digitised. You can get it at a chemist. Free. No measles. Cooker proof.

      Really? I’m not seeing any recommendations to get a booster unless you’re one of the people who received an inferior vaccine back in the 60s, or only got one dose back in the 80s and got missed by the school-based catch up programs in the 90s.

        Talk to your chemist/doctor - i had the childhood mmr as a kid, booster in 1990 (back then it was afab only) and got an adult booster for free last year.
