"I thought the vaccine was required everywhere in the US before children could even enter school"
As far as I know, you're right.

I remember having chicken pox. I hated those. Mom made me keep socks on my hands to keep from scratching. Thank goodness we now have vaccinations for most of this stuff.

I had the mumps, whooping cough, measels, chicken pox etc. I grew up when not only didn't they require anything but small pox vacinations they simply didn't have vacines for these diseases. Be glad if you grew up when you could be vacinated! Polio vacine, salk, came along about the time I got into high school and that was a god send because many children contracted it every year in the summer.

I had the mumps on just one side of my face, when I was 16..it was horrible...I heard if you get a childhood disease, when you are past childhood, the disease is more severe...dont know if that is really true, or if that is a myth, but in my case, I was in excrutiating pain...it was quite awful...I was that age, long before they had the mumps vaccine..I am just an oldie I guess...

Glands in the neck become horribly swollen - noticeably so...as in "huge." It is very painful.

Many young parents today opt out of all vaccinations.
I'd bet that many childhood diseases will make a come back soon.

Hmmm, what group of ppl would not have had the shots mandatory in the USA?I live in Iowa and at least in this area of the state there are more kids in christian schools(netherland reformed mostly)and it is bypassed because of their religion.
