I had all the common childhood illnesses apart from German measles(rubella)which I must have a natural immunity to. I don't remember whooping cough as I was only 3 when I had that but I can remember having measles, mumps and chicken pox. Having travelled a good deal I've had quite a number of vaccinations over the years but none of the really nasty ones thank goodness. The most recent was a booster for diphtheria when I went to Roumania where the disease is still very prevalent. Until then I'd thought that it had been wiped out everywhere but not in Eastern Europe apparently.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.com
