I'm so thankful I had two doses of MMR back before I was on a biologic. I can no longer get a live vaccine like the MMR (it has a live-attenuated virus).

I probably also had the vaccine as a child, but no records. My pediatrician (who was my grandmother's cousin) had polio as an intern in the 1950s and he was very pro-vaccine. So was my mother - with four children, why would you want any of them ill? Of course we all got chickenpox and mumps; the vaccines weren't out yet. I remember standing at the window watching all the other kids walking to school - and being very, very, itchy, even though I was slathered in calamine lotion .
