Isnt this something that gets vaccinated against?

Yes, but I think it wears off after 10-15 years (earlier for some, never for others) and unless you get a booster in your 20's you could catch a mild case of it. It is really dangerous to pregnant women and the baby so if OP knows anyone in that situation, it is best to avoid them for a while.

Makes sense, and it does seem like I caught it very mild. I almost don't feel sick at all. Done quite a bit of research on it by now so I know to avoid pregnant women but thanks for the headsup anyway. I think I'll just give my pool table a good workout at home till this passes.
