RE: Diphtheria today

Oh no :)

I was never vaccinated against diptheria. Polio, smallpox, yes. Whooping cough, diptheria, no. They weren't required for school entry. Back then, everybody caught whooping cough,measles and mumps. My mother had six kids. Sometimes she'd have several of us sick at the same time. Poor Mom ;)

Fortunately, none of us suffered serious side effects.
