Hi Nikko, sending tons of good wishes and support for you today, kick butt gal!

Bdix, my 11 year old had the innoculation to prevent too...I often wonder when the Primary care doctor I had asked me about his choice in vaccinating or not..I told him, he should be the one with the infor. THe peditrician could not gurantee life time against, but felt that there would be boosters made available.

It was voluntary back then. I had a fear that she would not have it in childhood but at college age catch it worse!
Myself and my oldest daughter never developed them, or had a tiny case we never knew of. My son's were covered!

To all else, enjoy the last of any sunny days and warmth. Our nights are down to 20's this week already.
Time to put away the halloween decorations.
