I know that Canada and the US used to often do things very similarly (sorry about gestures broadly). I’m not sure how similar we were in measles vaccination. In the US, the vaccination recommendations are:
If you were born in or before 1957, you’re presumed to be immune.
If you were born after 1957 and were never vaccinated, get vaccinated.
If you were vaccinated before 1967, they strongly recommend you get a booster shot. (The original vaccine wasn’t as effective as the later vaccine.)
If you were vaccinated between 1968 and 1989, they’d like you to get a booster shot. (They originally thought that vaccine provided lifetime immunity, but that eventually wore down. A booster brings you back up to snuff.)
If you were vaccinated after 1989, you should have gotten two shots and should be fine. If you’re concerned, you can tested for immunity.
I think here it’s before 94 or 95 you’re presumed immunized(the two shots) because of how strict we were about it but it’s a quick call to your GP if you have one to look up your records
