wouldn't we have had a problem the first time?

That's a good question. I understand this vaccine is different from the ones we got as kids. I am not really sure though.

As I understand it the vaccine is essentially the same as the one used 200 years ago....

"That's a good question. I understand this vaccine is different from the ones we got as kids. I am not really sure though."

And that's part of the problem. There is so much information being circulated about this right now it is hard to decide which is accurate and which is not.

My understanding is that the difference is that the old virus/vaccine was grown on calf bellies which led to higher risk of contamination from other viruses/bacteria. Now it is being grown in a sterile lab environment. Same live virus tho'.

My wife and I had it back in the 60's, and I had it again in the 1970's when I went in the service.
I am worried about her getting it again because her immune system is compromised by COPD and a variety of other problems. From what I understand people who have medical problems may have a better chance of having complications.
She decided she wouldnt take it because of that reason.
As for me, I will take it because I am in good health, and I imagine my kids will too.
