@Nammu @Soupe du jour, my mom had polio right before the vaccine came out. Had to deal with the iron lung and everything. She was one of the first people to get the vaccine from (I want to say directly from...) Jonas Salk and so had absolutely no problem making sure I had all the necessary vaccinations when I came in the picture.

And if, for some reason, I didn't believe her, I could always look back on the one flu season where I skipped the shot. I was sick every other week with one time being bad enough to go to the ER. Vaccines have directly helped me and my family.

Anyway, my soap box of the early morning!
