Are you asking me or telling me???
But FYI, prior to 1963 (when MMR became available), there were 4 million cases of measles/year. Now there are less than 1000.
Of course your grandchildren got vaccinated, it would be irresponsible of their parents to refuse it. However, there are other ways you can get measles, especially considering it is still common in other parts of the world. So be careful where you travel without getting re-vaccinated (unless you were born prior to 1957, in which case be VERY careful), or which foreign travelers you get close to. In either case, your risk of measles is extremely low, NOT "odds are I could get it"
