Message:


In  the specific immune response, certain cells are able to remember
the antigen.  The range of memory for those cells vary from 2 to
20 years.  In the case of the baby boomers who were immunized for
many things thirty years ago, can we be sure we still have immunity?
Should we all be re-immunized for polio, smallpox etc?
