Yeah. And she is old enough to have seen the devastating effects of most of these formerly common childhood illnesses when they were still rampant.

I think there must be some hidden anti-vax sentiment still lurking, because as long as you're talking hypothetically she's all for vaccines but then when I was talking with her about how many shots I was going to have to get, she accused me of being "Impfgeil" - which is really hard to translate but maybe "are you thrill-seeking?!" could sort of get the sentiment across.
