I had measles as a little kid in the 60s, before the vaccine was available. I had mumps simultaneously with measles, and then just after getting over measles and mumps, I had chicken pox.
In 2021/22 I asked my doctor about “catch up” vaccines. As a child, I only had vaccinations for smallpox and polio. I had most of the traditional “childhood diseases” as vaccines were not yet available. In 2022, a titer test found that I had antibodies to measles and mumps, but not to rubella, so I was given a one dose MMR vaccination. That was one of the 13 vaccinations I had from Dec 2019 through Dec 2022.
- Shingrix – 2x
- Hepatitis A/B – 3x
- MMR – 1x
- Covid-19 – 3x
- Influenza – 3x
- Pneumonia – 1x
13 vaccinations total.
I’m due for a tetanus booster (Tdap) vaccination which we will do at my next annual physical, says my doctor.
