Unless some of your fellow travelers have brought it with them from somewhere like Bali. Which is of course also a possibility in your everyday life.

PSA: I’m turning 55 next month, and there’s an issue with people who got vaccinated for measles around the same time I did as a kid having waning immunity. -

Sounds like your decision makers went to the same lecture series as ours.
If it's any consolation they are probably right. Even my mother who had family reasons for trying to keep us safe (posthumous child of a man who died tragically early of a communicable disease) didn't feel she had a hope of avoiding measles once we hit school age

In some countries it could be the age- age at vaccination. For a few years in New Zealand, just over 50 years ago, it was on the schedule as a single dose at 10 months. We now know that maternal antibodies can still be present in the infant at that age resulting in a reduced immune response. Vaccinating kids that young is now only done to protect them from an outbreak, and we call it dose zero and still give 2 more later on.
