Like a good mommy, my mommy made sure I had the recommended immunizations so as to protect me from disease.... Therefore, I was a bit taken aback when the hospital gave me the results from some of my blood tests: they found that I was rubella non-immune and pertussis non-immune.

They gave me new MMR and DTP vaccines, but that doesn't do much for restoring confidence in the system....
