That’s very interesting. I had a tetanus shot within the past three years. But I have never had an MMR shot, since I have already had measles and rubella. Never had mumps. Have you seen anywhere that it is actually recommended to receive an MMR shot? I can’t imagine the great unwashed being willing to get a shot that’s not even intended for Covid when they won’t get the actual shot that is designed to fight Covid.
The CDC recommends people who are born during or after 1957 who do not have evidence of immunity against measles should get at least one dose of MMR vaccine. My wife and I actually got booster MMR shots before we came into contact with the first grand-baby. This study will change nothing for the great unwashed. But it sure is interesting.
I was born before 1957. And I actually remember having measles. It was dreadful.
Did you get booster pertussis shots as well?
Yes TDAP too.
For the I immunocompromised booster, have you read whether it’s better to receive the same kind of vaccine you got for the first doses or go with a different mRNA vaccine?
I received Pfizer initially, and I’m debating whether to go with Moderna or Pfizer for the booster.
With an overnight sleep I began to question my recollection on my booster shot pre-grandbaby visit. So I checked with the keeper of household shared memory and she confirmed we both had a TDAP booster NOT the MMR. I stand corrected.
I’ve seen headlines but haven’t delved into any articles on Covid boosters. It will be hard initially to filter out the hype. I’ll keep my eyes open on this topic.
I’m planning to get a COVID booster shot in the next couple weeks, since I have several of the conditions that put me in the immunocompromised category. I am trying to decide whether to go with a third Pfizer or switch it up and get a Moderna.
I figured it was probably TDAP. That’s what the pediatricians are recommending for the grandparents.
It’s a good thing I forget about my memory lapses otherwise they would annoy me.
What memory lapses?
Typical aging memory issues. My last response was a joke. Where did I put my phone? Those types of age related memory issues. On a serious note I still feel mentally sharp.
Here’s your booster information from Yale.

I have those aging memory issues too. They are annoying. But I still think I’m mostly mentally sharp. Thanks for the booster info!
