blood work results in. I am immune to measles, mumps, and some other stuff I didn't not. Not Hep A or B, though.

It's a start!

IMMORTALITY IS JUST A FEW VACCINATIONS AWAY

I'd love to have all those titers. All I know is tests say I'm allergic to cats (points at four cats) and juniper pollen (waves around at New Mexico, a state consisting of 10% juniper pollen by weight).

Hep B is notoriously ambiguous (in that you can have fewer titers than the cutoff and still in practice mount a very strong immune response if exposed. Or not! Immunities are just generally more stochastic than binary, which is unhelpful.)

Good to know.

I discovered some years ago that I'm not immune to hep B either. Apparently that vaccine is less effective than they originally thought. I don't know whether this implies that you should do anything.

Congratulations. I checked my titers recently as well and came out okay (even though, like you, I am in the generation whose measles immunity might have faded).

Considering how immediate the measles concern is, yay for that one.

I got exposed on May 8th and warned too late to do any good. But I am sure it won't be the last time.

Congratulations on the measles and mumps immunities.

I got one hep vaccination when I was working at the blind school a few years ago, it was optional for IT staff and I went for it, and got another a couple of years ago. But with the mix of varied immunities that I get from my weekly antibody infusion from 10,000 donors, I have pretty darn good protection.

I got told that due to my "lifestyle", I was in danger of Hep A or B from accidental needle sticks.

I'm a non-insulin-using diabetic.
