As far as M and M and R, my sibs and I had intense cases (well, chicken pox too) and were exposed time and again before the immunizations came out. Suurrely we're immune, my doctor father probably brought home everything! |
Yep...he probably did. That's why we have to be tested, vaccinated and retested. Hep B is a big offender. If you wonder, ask your doc to run a titer. If it comes back negative, most people only need a booster. Very few people require a whole new series...or never develop immunity. The immune system is a complicated thing.
