Vaccinations against these diseases can also decrease in affectiveness with age. Its not often done, but a titer can be done to see if you are still immune. I got one when switching to a new doctor and found I was no longer immune to measles and had to get the vaccination.

Iirc the MMR vaccine just doesn't work in like 8% of people.

It's not a big deal if everyone is vaccinated, but here we are.
