Vaccines when we were young

[CurvyMommato1]

I am wondering by how much the vaccines have increased from when I was a child, until now, having my own child.

I was born in 1987 and I have been vaccinated fully as a child. I am curious if there have been extra vaccines added since then.

I cannot find my vaccine record so I'd have to have it looked up I guess, if this is even possible.

I have rarely ever gotten sick, I never even cought the chicken pox when my mother tried to have me get them...and I was vaccinated so I was just wondering how many where given to babies when I was one.

Thanks if anyone can help.

This is taken from the below linked web site...... PS: The information on the web site stating that the increase of child hood vaccines has nothing to do with increased child hood illness I believe is bull shit!

The immunization schedule in this country has grown complex over the last 20 years. In 1980, infants were vaccinated against four diseases -- diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and polio. Today, most healthy infants get up to 15 shots of five vaccines by the time they are six months old, and up to 5 additional shots of seven more vaccines by age two. These immunizations protect against 11 diseases in total -- diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type b (commonly referred to as Hib disease), varicella, and pneumococcus.
