Adults contracting childhood diseases

[Guest guest]

So here's a question I have. I'm reading about how the vaccines I received as a

child (such as

MMR) don't give you life-long immunity, and it's not so good to get such things

as an adult.

My babies are not vaccinated. So, say they got mumps, which I've not had.

Should be no big

deal for them since they are younger. I would then quite possibly get mumps

too, and

complications could occur. (I don't know how likely though.) That makes me

wonder. I am

not suggesting I should go out and get revaccinated and I'm certainly not saying

I should

vaccinate my babies to protect me! But, I just put 2 and 2 together on that

just this morning.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
