[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 133551, member: 3444"] Well, all three of my kids had the vaccine. My oldest, apparently, did not develop antibodies. On a whim, I had his titer level checked during routine labs for his Crohn's disease, and that's how we found out. Now it's a huge issue if he gets it because he's on immune suppressing medications to keep his Crohn's disease in remission. He cannot have the vaccine as long as he's on these medications because it uses a live virus. I purposely held off giving him the vaccine when he was younger, hoping that he would just catch it and get it over with. But then I finally had it given to him when he was in 1st or 2nd grade. Who knew it wouldn't work for him? I now wish it had. [/QUOTE]
