I got one as a baby, according to my mother. It would have been 1951-52 & I don't recall the experience. The scar is on my upper left arm. The clinic at my base decided I needed to be re-vaccinated n 1994 as I was getting shots updated prior to being transferred to Okinawa for two years. That one didn't take & didn't leave a scar either.

I got my first as a baby in 1952. I got it on the thigh because my held me like the other women in line at the clinic. Their babies were girls so I got mine like a girl. I got one later when I started school and that was in the arm. I guess because we lived close to Mexico where the disease was still common, the public health nurses came to school and vaccinated everyone in first grade or transfers who weren't vaccinated. Boys pulled up their sleeve and got it on the arm, Girls pulled up their skirt and got it on the thigh. You would have to look close with a magnifying glass to find the scars now.
