Childhood vaccinations as an adult

[Orangeblossom1976]

Although my children are fully vaccinated I have a feeling my parents didn't get mine done as a child in the 1970s. I think I remember having whooping cough as a child. Would you consider getting this checked out and getting them down as an adult, wonder if it is possible on the NHS?
Feeling quite cross about it as could have for example had measles in pregnancy- thankfully children are both fine.

I wasn’t allowed to leave hospital with DD until I had had an MMR injection, because apparently my bloods showed that I wasn’t actually immune to rubella or measles despite having had all my jabs/boosters as a child. I think it’s quite common having to have things again as an adult but only happens if it’s picked up on blood tests, so I see no reason not to go to the gp and ask to have yours now.

DS only had his MMR jab at 16 - no questions asked, GP surgery happy to book him in.

I was routinely tested for MMR immunity with my 1st pregnancy on 1994. I've been told that I had measles, and mumps when I was around 7 and german measles as a baby (the diseases not the vaccinations).
I was given a polio booster after the birth of my 1st child - possibly tetanus too (as I remember the nurse recommending that DH had them too and he's needle phobic ) - polio was a live vaccine and I think boosters were routinely given to adults likely to change nappies on recently vaccinated babies.

Interesting how they don't think it's important to call all the adults back who never had the jabs but everyone goes crazy about kids not having them.

Adults should be checked opportunistically. It's simply not feasible for every practice to check the immunisation history of thousands of adults en masse ( medical notes/verbal history needed) and call them in.

yes and adults get it worse too. they could ask like for shingles for example

DH has only recently had his first MMR and he's in his 30's but this is only due to an egg allergy when he was younger which he's now grown out of. In the 80's they wouldn't give it you if you had an egg allergy.
