Congratulations on being up to date on MMR, unlike 65% of other adult americans. Here are the CDC's vaccine recommendations for you. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccin

  So now that you found that your first link didn't show your point, you're digging up other links? Except the chart you pointed to is incomplete. You picked the "easy read" chart instead of, say, the more detailed one at http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6104a9.htm http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6104a9.htm . Take for example chickenpox. The chart you linked to recommends 2 doses. However, http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/varicella/basic-immunity.htm http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/varicella/basic-immunity... says: "You do not need the chickenpox vaccine if you meet any of these criteria for evidence of immunity ... Birth in the United States before 1980." That's me! Where did you get the 35% number for MMR? I can't find mention of it. I found that "For the 2007--2008 season, influenza vaccination coverage among adults aged 50--64 years was 34%, and coverage among adults aged ≥65 years was 66%" and that "the goals for adult vaccination coverage with influenza and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines are 90% for each vaccine." I hadn't realized that. 10 years ago it was only recommended for people in their 50s or older. I have never gotten influenza virus, as I followed the recommendation of a now outdated schedule.
