Yes, getting the update on MMR is terribly important for us at our age. I did it a few years ago, after getting tested. I don't recall if it was measles or rubella I was susceptible to, but I've had the mumps and cannot get them again. They don't break up the vaccine into individual disease protection, unfortunately. So, I've been vaccinated for the mumps, too.

I also got the shingles series, on doctor's advice, even after having shingles. I recommend not getting shingles by any means necessary.
