I didn't get an MMR; I was a freshman in college when it was released. I had measles, but not mumps or rubella.

MRNA was first used 12 years ago, but I wouldn't call it "en masse".

History of mRNA Vaccines

Using mRNA as a therapeutic tool was first proposed in the early 1990s and became feasible in the early 2000s. The first clinical trial of an mRNA vaccine was conducted in 2008 to treat prostate cancer. That vaccine was developed to stimulate the patient's immune system to attack prostate cancer cells. The results of that trial were promising and paved the way for further research in mRNA vaccines.

In 2013, the first mRNA vaccine was approved for use in humans. Provenge was designed to treat prostate cancer by using the patient's immune cells to attack cancer cells. This vaccine demonstrated the potential of mRNA technology to improve the immune system.
