Can you get immunization shots even if you already got them when you were younger?


For admissions purposes to a university, they are requiring I get immunizaions for Rubella, Mumps, and Measles. I think I got those when I was younger but I don't know where my medical records are (my step mom kept them or they may be located on a medical base that I dont have access to) So, my question is can I just go to a local walk-in clinic and just get them again?

Yeah you can get them again.

Yes you can get those shots again.

You can get a blood test to check.

Go to the clinic and tell them you aren't sure and would like a blood test to see if you have antibodies present. If the test says no, then you can get the shots without worry.

It's actually one vaccine... Called the MMR... Measles, Mumps and Rubella... They recommend now that you get yet another dose of it when your a little older... So yes... Have fun getting that and all you have to do is yah.. Go to a doctor, or a clinic or ask them at the college you are going too if they have a place you can go there for it...
Have fun!
