3. As an elderly adult in an area with an overabundance

of maga I got my measles vaccination a couple of weeks ago. The tech giving me the vaccine said that this was her first time giving a measles vaccination. This week there are "at least 20 cases" at a local university. This is in one of the counties with the highest percentage of elderly in the US. Elderly people are at higher risk for severe complications from measles.
