Was it measles or chicken pox (or both) that we all WANTED to get while we were kids, so we wouldn’t get it as adults?

If that’s a picture of you on your FR page it would have been chicken pox. It looks like you’re younger than me. Measles were already vaccinated against when I was a kid but there wasn’t a chicken pox vaccine yet.

Was it measles or chicken pox (or both) that we all WANTED to get while we were kids, so we wouldnt get it as adults? No one wants to get either disease, but after a bout with measles, you'll be immune for life, or so it is said. On the other hand, the chicken pox virus can return later in life as shingles, a much nastier ailment.
Mumps also affects adults much more severely than children. Although a mumps infection during childhood is supposed to bring lifelong immunity, I know a man who had it as a child nd then as an adult.
To: Chickensoup
I had measles and chickenpox.
Now I fear getting shingles from the chickenpox I had in 3rd grade...............

She was vaccinated, and they now know that is only 93% effective? And being vaccinated twice is 97% effective? Should we all run out and be revaccinated for everything?

Yes. Adults who have never gotten measles should get vaccinated if they want to. Kids do just fine after a few weeks.

In my day we WANTED to get measles. Well, our parents wanted us to. At least that was drilled into me. There was a big “fear” thing about entering adulthood having not been immunized by getting it as a child. But I’m 65.
To: Bonemaker
The idea is you are immunized as a child, by getting the disease.
To: petitfour
being vaccinated twice is 97% effective?
With 6, you get egg roll.
