If a person has had either, do they have immunity to both types of measles? Getty Images

DEAR DR. ROACH: I read a recent column of yours in which you said that everyone who is my age can assume we’ve had measles. I remember having measles when I was in the second grade but have a vague memory of my parents calling it German measles, which I believe is rubella. If a person has had either, do they have immunity to both types of measles? -- S.F.
