This year’s spikes in measles cases could cause the U.S. to lose its “elimination status” by next year after the CDC reports nearly 2,000 cases and 50 outbreaks nationwide.

    I was vaxxed in the 80s, and I had my immunity to measles checked earlier this year, and found I was no longer immune. But the pharmacy I went to wouldn’t accept that.

    “Do you need this for work or school?”

    “My doctor said to come get it, I’m no longer immune.”

    “Work or school are the only options on this form, sir.”

    Thankfully I work in a school but good lord too complicated.

      I’m surprised they cared. I went to get a booster I think for covid or flu not sure can’t remember. They asked a buch questions like why I was getting it. I left the forum blank and when they verbally ask me I just said I rather not say. Then 5 minutes latter when the pharmacist freed up I was getting jabbed in the arm.
