I was likely (born early 70s) vaccinated according to the first schedule, although my parents allowed me to get measles, mumps and chicken pox. Since they've passed, I can't ask them for their exact reasoning as to why.
The 1983-era CDC schedule: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/images/schedule1983s.jpg https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/images/schedule1983s....
Current schedule: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/easy-to-read/child.html https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/easy-to-read/child.ht...
Just commenting: there is a big difference between the likely vax schedule that a 45yo of today got, and what an infant born this year or last, will get.
- climber604 10y agoI'd expect the schedules to change (improve) over time. So what's the point you're trying to make?
- bigtex 10y agoThey don't test what happens to someone when they get all those shots. Also chicken pox is reality is no big deal and all my siblings had it as a child.

- patrickg_zill 10y agoSeems obvious if you look at the schedules: 1983: vaccines given : 3 to 4 . 2017: vaccines given : ~10 . That is a big difference in terms of what you are asking a body to do.
