I've had all the normal UK vaccines .

I've had

Measles
Mumps
Rubella

All of those before I was old enough for the MMR which was spectacularly unlucky in some ways!

Also had chickenpox and meningitis (viral), glandular fever, hand foot and mouth (as an adult and it was truly awful) . Obviously usual minor bugs.

Touch wood that's it. I think.

Upsidedownfrown · 06/04/2020 22:58

I had all routine vaccinations. Had to have rubella redone after I gave birth to my eldest as my bloods taken during pregnancy didn't show antibodies but I def had the vaccination.

I caught tuberculosis. I had the BCG in secondary school whilst it was still routine but apparently it wears off! Who knew?!

Haven't had any other illnesses other than obligatory chickenpox when I was little

had measles vaccine, and polio, and bcg and tetanus as far as I can remember, and rubella vaccination. I think I had whooping cough as well but can't remember that.

Now have flu vaccine as a carer to an autistic child.

PickAChew · 06/04/2020 23:53

HD chicken pox.

All the vaccinations expected of a 50 yo.

Miraculously escaped my brother's mumps. Got exposed again recently and missed it, again. I'm resistant to norivirus so suspect I have a cast iron immune system.

AdoraBell · 06/04/2020 23:57

Measles
Rubella
Chicken pox

Can’t remember all my vaccinations but every one recommended from the 70’s. I was born just before 1970 and I remember the BCG and polio vaccination at school.

ShanghaiDiva · 06/04/2020 23:58

I live in China so have been vaccinated against everything including rabies and Japanese encephalitis.
I am rarely ill and have only had chicken pox.

elliejjtiny · 06/04/2020 23:59

I've had chicken pox and mumps

Not sure about vaccinations. I had all the standard ones for babies born in the 1980's. I was just too old to have the mmr so I had the single measles vaccination and the rubella one when I was "childbearing age" which according to my surgery was age 10! Had the bcg at school and a meningitis one as well.

SecretWitch · 06/04/2020 23:59

I’ve been vaccinated against all the usual childhood diseases. In addition to vaccinations for

Hepatitis

I’ve had mumps, chicken pox, scarlet fever and HPV

Mominatrix · 07/04/2020 00:04

I’ve only had the common cold.

I have been immunised for everything which has a vaccine available- prior to Jed school I had to have my titers checked and any was given a booster for any disease which demonstrated low levels.

heartyrebel · 07/04/2020 00:17

Vaccinated against pretty much everything as I've travelled a lot.
As a child had measles and chicken pox
Caught TB in 2005, I never got the booster in high school

GiantKitten · 07/04/2020 00:36

Born in the early 50s.

I know I had whooping cough, measles & chicken pox; I must also have had rubella, because I was immune when tested in first pregnancy, but apparently nobody noticed Confused

Never had mumps afaik.

Vaccinations will have been diphtheria, tetanus & polio presumably? Also had BCG, & about 30 years ago I had a series of tetanus injections because I’d never had any boosters.

I went to Israel in the early 70s & had a travellers jab (or 2) for that but can’t remember what.
