TDLR: if you were vaccinated in the 1960s you may need a whole new course of boosters.
Also, if you were vaccinated before 1989, you may need one additional shot, since the 2-shot model wasn’t recommended by the CDC until then.
Yep, had my 1st measles shot in the mid-60s, a booster in '74, and now this year found (via a blood test) that my immunity had waned to a point that another shot was needed. Got it. Five stars, no pain, highly recommended.
FYI even if you have been vaccinated you may still need to get a booster.

Stay safe out there folks.
Good looking out. I’m on the west coast, but still going to mention it to my folks.

No side effects like the Covid shots?
I got my booster right after RFK got sworn in. Also polio, monkeypox and COVID of course.
Good luck everyone
