re: #82 midwestgak

I got a vaccination with a thin glass rod poked into the skin of my upper thigh as a little one (others got their’s in the upper arm). I don’t remember what it was for.

Also, I remember drinking a sweet mixture from a tiny paper cup in elementary school as another vaccination. Polio I think. Anyone?

The poke was smallpox. Later went to a little pointy stamp kind of thing.

The sweet was the Sabin polio vaccination, followed a few years after the injected Salk vaccination.
