Currently two doses of the MMR vaccine in childhood are recommended in the US, as of 1989 iirc. I got a fresh dose recently as an adult because I knew I’d had the first MMR shot but wasn’t sure about the second, plus I really don’t want measles. The pharmacy didn’t give any pushback when I asked for the shot.
