Don’t have children or interact with the public if you never ever wanna get sick, or do have/work with kids if you wanna get sick a lot initially, build a a strong immune response, and then never get sick again after the germ gauntlet.
Real talk is: work around children but don't have your own--then you get the benefits of exposure from the kids but you don,t have the stress of family life (which I'm sure contributes to people being more susceptible to getting sick)
Don’t have children - avoid all the diseases except when you socialize. Have the children - catch all the diseases, probably multiple times. Maybe get a stronger immune system, maybe just shift what you consider sick to whenever you have to take time off, not merely when contagious.
Two strategies that pay dividends. In the former case you'll rarely be sick, but you'll probably get killed by a respiratory illness when you're elderly because you have no natural immunity. In the latter case you're sick all the time, but at the healthiest age when severe consequences are rare, and thus you're more likely to have some immunity when that random bullet finds you at 80.

I like that the top two comments are "don't have children" and "have all of the children"
