re: #471 Bobblehead

My mom had me and my siblings in the doctor’s office the day the first vaccine became available. A point of pride with her to this very day.

Same here!

My pediatrician (and also my children’s pediatrician) always said you wouldn’t ask whether or not your children should have these vaccinations if you had ever seen a child with these diseases (Diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus).
I never had mumps, but I made up for it with the chicken pox. I had them in my eyes…everywhere! Neither of my kids ever came down with it although both were exposed numerous times. I always wondered whether I passed on some sort of immunity.
