It never occurred to me that immunizations might not confer immunity. The college made the whole staff have the Hep B series about 15 years ago and I'd be aggravated to learn that it didn't "take".

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.
