this is why you should get immunized. and then maybe checked again.

my mom believes in western medicine. so does my dad. we got all our immunizations. they made sure we got chicken pox. they dragged us off to the doctor whenever they suspected we were sick. i have jumped through all the hoops myself as an adult.

according to my blood tests yesterday, i'm not currently immune to measles or mumps. (but i am to rubella.)

i suspect i am off to the doctor again right soon to get immunized for a lot of stuff.

(they did more than just mmr testing yesterday; i'm going to wait until the rest of the tests come back.)

"Natural" was a bad word choice--by natural I meant immunity acquired through having had and survived the disease. :)

Oh gawd, Astrid has been too ill to have her second set of jabs. I wonder will she have to have the first set over again, now, or is there still time for the boosters to do their thing. I don't really understand the biology of it all.

Just ask her doctor. She'll probably be in the booster window unless it's been ages.

i don't believe astrid is old enough for it to have been too long.
