Depends on the disease. Sometimes the more we vaccinate, the more this is going to happen ...

Things like mumps and chicken pox are uncomfortable, but unlike smallpox and measles, rarely fatal or with long-term health consequences when you have the disease in childhood. Getting them as a kid confers life-time immunity. Getting vaccinated against them has an immunity with an expiration date, which can be as short as right after you get the shot(s), since vaccinations don't always "take."
