"If you have been vaccinated with two doses of vaccine as per routine, you have a 95-plus percent chance of being completely protected throughout your life," Schaffner says.
But public health experts say there are some adults who should consider getting revaccinated. That includes older adults who were born after 1957 and were vaccinated before 1968.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - Wow. OK. Stand corrected. I'll have to look at my many (many) little yellow shot books to see - maybe we did get a booster at some point during the deployments...

I just looked at the spreadsheet and saw I was jabbed with the MMR four times while I was in (plus the vaccinations as a child).

COL (Join to see) - I don't believe you get a MMR booster. The booster adults normally get every 10 years is the Tdap.
Looking at the dates for the jabs, aside from the one I received when I first joined, two of the three others were given as part of the 'package deal' prior to a deployment.
I can't recall, but I would lay odds that the third was given as part of a medical readiness drill and my prior MMR vaccinations couldn't be confirmed.
