There were no measles vaccines for either type when I was a kid. I had red measles, the dangerous one, when I was a few months old preemie. Luckily I survived. Mom said she tied baby socks over my hands so I couldn't scratch. I went to school over the years with kids my age who were disabled after having polio. I remember getting the first polio shot, not sure what age, and the second sugar cube vaccine later.
