I'm in the UK, like you, and also in the demographic where the measles vaccine we received may have been sub-optimal.

If you plan to travel to the US or developing countries where measles may be circulating, then yeah, it's probably worth getting an MMR even if you have to pay for it.

If you're not planning on travelling outside western Europe then don't bother. You are protected by herd immunity and won't encounter measles

@overholt

The test isn't reliable in previously (even if inadequately) vaccinated individuals. If it does show immunity, that is probably correct. But if it doesn't show immunity, the interpretation is unclear.

Based on this, advice to anyone who isn't sure if they were vaccinated or might have received a less effective vaccine:

Don't bother with the test.

Just get (re-)vaccinated. It's simpler.
