Possible: The immunity from your natural Measles disease so long ago is likely to have subsided . You should consider getting a boaster after discussion with yoyr primary doctor for any potential contraindications. Good luck!

Immunity: You can have titers drawn to see if you are still immune. If not you can get a booster dose of MMR.
