Adults born between 1957 and 1967 got a killed virus vaccine that was later proven not to be effective...it could be they thought they were vaccinated...

@thinktwice Huh, I didn't know that. I wonder if I got one ? I just remember the polio koolaid & the smallpox.
I think if adults are going to expect infants to get this shot they need to get one too.

@powder I also got a mild case so I am sure it built up my immunity...I was vaccinated in 1960.

@Qualia You would think, right? Why not do all you can to protect your child and the vulnerable...I checked because I am of that age and worried about passing stuff to the little ones...I did get a whooping cough vaccine recently and shingles when I was 60...I just need the pneumonia shot this year...

@thinktwice I'd rather adults get these shots than infants.
Wait until they're older and immune systems better able to deal, but that gets lumped in with "anti vax" these days ?
I got a pneumonia shot years ago, still got pneumonia in 2014 ??
Funny have my 1st respiratory mess since then, not sure if sinus infection, cold or what, but am taking Tamiflu atm. I carry around a little spray bottle of 90% isoprophyl & spray all the things like a lunatic. Maybe coincidence but it's been 5 years...

Mine too....raving with IV's in, I think age 12ish....

@AnneWimsey Mine was 3...we were in a poor country with limited resources...my parents kept him in a dark cool room with no light and limited contact...horrible...

How's he doing? No lasting effects?

@Charlene He is a sexy, awesome, wonderful father of three kids, six grandkids...who loves dogs and cats and would help out anyone he can...

@thinktwice that's awesome!
