Mandates are so important. This one is old school.

1. fortunaately there's a vaccine for measles these days nt

[MiniMe]

2. I never had the vaccine

But I had red measles, and mumps. So I think I am immune

[DURHAM D]

3. Just curious - Did you go to public schools? nt

[MiniMe]

5. Yes

This was back in the 60's. I got measles in California, and the mumps in Maryland.

[DURHAM D]

7. Wasn't the measles and mumps vaccine required back then? nt

[MiniMe]

8. No, I had every other vaccine, but MMR came in after I already had them.

I never got rubella that we know of, I understand that many had rubella and it wasn't serious enough if you weren't pregnant to be a big deal.

[DURHAM D]

10. Got it.

btw - Hope you have your shingles shot.

Have a friend dealing with shingles right now. She did not think it was a big deal until she got it.

[MiniMe]

12. That I've had, the Shingrix shot

Oh, and I had Chicken Pox too. I had the TDAP shot last year, was babysitting an infant and the pediatrician suggested it. That's tetanus, pertussis, and Diptheria

13. Speaking of vaccines...

I remember one when I was a kid, they gave us a sugar cube? Or am I going crazy?

[jimfields33]

14. I think that was the polio booster.

You are not going crazy!

[MiniMe]

15. That's the polio vaccine

[Rebl2]

16. I did too

Polio vaccine I believe

[keithbvadu2]

17. Because the vaccines worked.

[Demovictory9]

Memories of the sugar cube vaccination


I was 10 when my dad, a research pharmacist at Smith, Kline & French Laboratories in Philadelphia, was placed in charge of a major vaccination effort where we lived in nearby Elkins Park. It was the early 1960s, 18 months before we would meet the Beatles.

Everyone I knew had already received their polio shots, which had put the brakes on the scourge that trapped kids in iron lungs and left too many of them with permanent neurologic deficits. Now we were getting something better. This was the oral polio vaccine. (Although we no longer use the oral vaccine to prevent polio, at the time it was ground-breaking with longer lasting immunity that lent itself beautifully for mass vaccination.)

It took place on a Saturday. I remember it was a warm, blue-sky day. Three buddies of mine and I rode our bikes (without helmets or parental supervision) to the junior high school parking lot. Families arrived with kids in strollers and dogs on leashes.

Card tables had been set up with colorful balloons tied to them with string. Several mothers brought cookie sheets, the same ones they used to bake chocolate-chip cookies the rest of the year. Hundreds of sugar cubes were lined up on them in tidy little rows. Several drops of the pink polio vaccine were dripped onto each one.

Then came the first of my three memorable moments of that day. My dad made sure I was the very first person in line to snatch a sugar cube and pop it in my mouth. A lot of eyes were on me. I said something like, “Mmmm, it’s really good,” and got a nice laugh.

21. You can get an MMR vaccination now. NT

[underpants]

4. So all that money we spent in Afghanistan and there wasn't a vax program?

[DURHAM D]

6. I guess the question is -

Was it mandatory?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

11. lol

[PortTack]

9. So...the RWNJs gonna weigh in? Why aren't they vaccinated??!! Spreading disease

Biden’s fault

[SergeStorms]

20. It's inevitable.

As inevitable as Donald Trump lying.

18. Drop off those refugees with measles at a right wing, anti-vax church.
