There is some resistance in the UK now for general immunisation of childhood illness.
When I was at school aged 5-10? we were all inoculated with the common types.
Polio, diptheria, whooping cough, mumps, chickenpox,and a few more I can't remember.
The mumps failed as I caught it and had a few weeks off school with a swollen neck, and general unpleasantness.
My parents generation had even worse diseases to cope with and child mortality wasn't unknown.
Just wondering what the situation is worldwide?
Obviously as a child you have no choice, but I don't remember any opposition
from parents.
