Adeline asked: So when did vaccination against these illnesses start? I am 27 and was only ever vaccined against Polio, Diphteria, Tetanos and TB.
This is very weird for me, I'm in the US & I got the MMR vaccine as a child (not sure if it was combined, or separate measles, mumps, rubella). When I was in high school, the whole "may have been vaccinated too early" thing hit here & they re-vaccinated me (and if Mom had written down the month I was vaccinated in, I wouldn't've needed it!)--I graduated HS in 1985, so the UK #'s just seem STRANGE to me. I've also been vaccinated 2 other times, because until the last, the "rubella" vaccine didnt take. So vaccines aren't perfect! But then, neither is natural immunity--my mother caught her second case of the German measles in Britain a number of years ago. That is rare enough in the US that all the interns/med students were called in to see a REAL case.
