Hmmm. While I am strongly in favour of routinely vaccinating infants against hepatitis B, I have not had this vaccine myself.
My non-immune status doesn't worry me in the slightest, because my risk of hepatitis B exposure is virtually zero. This is true for many adults.
Also, it is unnecessary to check measles immunity if the person definitely received two vaccine doses (if this is uncertain, YES, GET CHECKED OR GET MMR). Adequate immunity persists even if antibodies decline.

@regordane it's not ok to share vaccine misinformation new acute Hepatitis B cases in my country are highest among adults aged 40-59 and since most middle aged people here do not know how many doses of MMR vaccine they got, yes, we DO need to get checked because people in my age group, in my country, are spreading and dying from both these diseases I'm glad this isn't true where you're from! that's why this post wasn't for you https://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis-b/about/index.html
