A lot of chemists also offer the MMR vaccine and can check your records
Fellow Millennials and Gen Xers in Aotearoa; you have may seen comms from Heath NZ that we probably only had one MMR shot as children, I'm off to get a second one now. Talk to your GP or their nurse to see if you need one

Two doses of the MMR vaccine provide 99% of people with protection against measles. Check if you're fully immunised and if not, book with your usual health provider, or lots of pharmacies can do MMR vaccination. Or book online: bookmyvaccine.health.nz

We’ve got to start insisting on this Catch 22 being understood in all workplaces: AI only replaces workers too incompetent to notice it doesn’t work.
