I got an MMR shot last month because I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. It was easy to schedule and I didn't even owe a copay.

I got the shot as a child, but that was decades ago and there's a chance immunity wanes after 15 years. You can have titers done to make sure you still have immunity, but just getting the shot was easier for me. I'll have titers done at my next regular blood draw.
