It's crazy. Can't believe that we eradicated this disease in the U.S. and now it's back because some folks don't believe in vaccines.
If you've been properly vaccinated, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. But if you're unsure or have concerns, I would talk to your doctor.
FYI if you had the vaccine in the 1960's , it could be a weak dose and apparently weakened to the point that it was not detected when tested. When I had my daughter in 1991, i was informed of the situation and had a second dose after she was born. I would definitely check with your doctor.
I recently had to get a booster when my first grandchild was born since I had been vaccinated in the 50s.
