I’m almost 65, so you must be at least 10 yrs or MORE behind be. They didn’t have MMR when I was a kid. I was born in ‘56, was about the size of a noodle and it took my mom and dad holding me and I remember my mother just grabbed my skinny little arm and they did the small pox on the inner arm. And I remember sugar cube polio vaccines??

I had both types of measles and the chicken pox. My sister got the mumps in junior high.. I sat close to her, but didn’t get sick either before or after and was like.. “well that didn’t work” lol. So I don’t think I’ve ever had the mumps. Not worried now.

Our younger sister never got exposed to chicken pox as she came later, so when her son got it, she got chicken pox BAD. She’s 58, and has already had shingles.

FWIW - My maternal grandfather was the county health officer for 25+ years. My mom and aunt were, quite literally, poster children in eastern NC for various vaccines that became available in the 1930s.

I don't remember which ones.
