Mumps and chickenpox used to be part of the normal childhood experience ... one, in fact, that had moms scanning the neighborhood trying to find another kid that had it in order to get their kids infected, over with it, and to assure that they wouldn't get it later in life when it can be dangerous.
I had mumps in early elementary school, and unfortunately never got exposed to chicken pox until I was in high school ... had a reasonably mild case, luckily.
I did get vaccinated for Measles and German Measles.
As part of my employment I had to get the Hep-B RNA Vaccine.
