Every vaccination has a (although very slim) chance to cause an adverse reaction.
Around 5% of all people vaccinated have a minor skin reaction (which is physiological and not an anaphylaxis.
1% report joint pain.
But,more severely, 1-4 people out of a million develop a life-threatening anaphylaxis, 3 out 100.000 a serious blood clothing disorder. Very rarely(as in: Less than 1 in 1 Million), but with a slightly higher incidence of you are an adult pancreatitis and deafness is reported.
As medicine is always a game of chances we try not to risk things,even if they are rare.
Any reason to not skip the titer test and just get an MMR booster (especially if you’re born in the 60s)?

One I can think of… I want to my local pharmacy last week to get an MMR shot, and was refused. They pretty much wont do it without a Dr’s order.
