I was vaccinated in the early 1970s for measles but cannot locate my vaccination records. So yesterday, I went to CVS & got the MMR vaccine (for free!) since it would hurt to get the booster. If you were vaccinated before 1968, you may consider getting the booster too.

With measles in the news, adults are wondering, do I need a vaccine booster?
With a measles outbreak growing in West Texas, and isolated cases popping up across the country, experts say vaccination is the best protection. And not just for kids. Some adults may need a booster.

I know several Ph.D.s who are interested in public policy work and are seeking professional career counseling at their institutions.
The Doctoral Dilemma
More than half of those who earn Ph.D.s now decide to leave academia after graduation. Why, then, do so many graduate programs still assume their students will become professors? #HigherEd #EDUSky #AcademicSky bit.ly/42zS7IB
