I have no real trust in my local community (theres quite a few anti-vaccine people here).
Any reason to not skip the titer test and just get an MMR booster (especially if you’re born in the 60s)?
One I can think of… I want to my local pharmacy last week to get an MMR shot, and was refused. They pretty much wont do it without a Dr’s order.
Every vaccination has a (although very slim) chance to cause an adverse reaction. Around 5% of all people vaccinated have a minor skin reaction (which is physiological and not an anaphylaxis. 1% report joint pain.
But,more severely, 1-4 people out of a million develop a life-threatening anaphylaxis, 3 out 100.000 a serious blood clothing disorder. Very rarely(as in: Less than 1 in 1 Million), but with a slightly higher incidence of you are an adult pancreatitis and deafness is reported.
As medicine is always a game of chances we try not to risk things,even if they are rare.
