So I'm right on the border of age that should get supposedly get a booster. Born in 1970. Would it be safe to get one now, just in case, even if I probably was just young enough to get them that year?

All the info I've read says that somehow everyone 1970 and later is fully vaccinated.. but I don't remember. What if I just missed getting the full round as a child?

So I think in Canada you can get an antibody test to see if you need a booster or not. In the US, insurance won’t pay for the test, but the shot itself is covered. So I just got the booster for free. I’m not much younger than you are.

Thanks, good idea. I will go tomorrow if I can to ask about an antibody test. (Yes I'm in Canada)

I went in to get a vaccine for foreign travel (~6 years ago) and the nurse suggested getting the MMR vaccine because of an additional vaccine in the mix. I had the MMR in school (90s) but it has been expanded, so it was a free shot
