“Even if I got hit by a truck tonight, HHS will never go back to what it was before,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. bragged.

For anyone in the US who needed to know:
If you were born before 1957, you are presumed immune because measles was so prevalent.
If you were vaccinated before 1967, you should definitely get a booster (the original vaccine wasn’t as strong as the later vaccine).
If you were vaccinated between 1967 and 1989, you should consider a booster: they believed you only needed one shot, but you actually needed two.
If you were vaccinated after 1989, you are considered fully vaccinated.
You can get tested. I did and my titers were too low, so I got a new MMR vaccine.
Yes, I requested a test and I’m glad I did. I had no immunity and got the full schedule (two shots).
It was the second-most painful shot I’ve ever had, exceeded only by Shingrix for shingles. But I’d take both of those vaccines again any day to prevent what they prevent.
