Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

I've been wondering whether I was properly vaccinated against measles, so after picking up my new glasses today, I went the the bank that has our safe deposit box and looked for the records I remembered putting in there. I found a list of vaccines, with a note advising my parents to save it because it's important, in an envelope labeled "Vicki's birth certificates*. I copied everything into my notebook, and have now added it to my list of relatively recent vaccines.

I had one dose of measles vaccine in 1965 (before there was a vaccine for mumps or rubella), and I remember a dose of either measles vaccine or the MMR when I was in college. (There was at least one case of measles in one of the dorms, and we were told to either provide proof of immunization or go to the dining hall and get vaccinated; getting the shot seemed quicker and easier than asking my parents to find the paperwork and mail me a copy.) Someone posted a few days ago that they'd had their blood tested and were immune to measles but not mumps or rubella; if you're as old as I am you probably got the measles vaccine early and then nobody went back to give you the others. So, I'm not going to go to the pharmacy and ask for a(nother) dose of the MMR, but am going to ask my doctor what if anything she thinks I should do, when I see her next.

I am also very thoroughly vaccinated against polio: four doses of [I assume injected] polio vaccine in 1964 and '66, followed by doses of "oral polio" vaccine in 1967 and 1968. The paperwork also confirms that I was vaccinated against smallpox (I don't have a scar from that) but doesn't list the BCG anti-tuberculosis vaccine I remember my parents telling me about at some point.

When I asked Mom about my vaccines recently, she didn't remember specifics, just that they got me all the recommended childhood vaccines, and that I had chicken pox when I was five.

*yes, plural. There's one from the hospital and one from the City of New York.
