I remember getting the "new" polio shot when I was around 7 yo. and later given a smallpox shot that left a huge scar on your upper arm. Back then we all got the measles, mumps and german measles, and we've lived to tell about it. I remember when my 2 older brothers had the measles and chickepox, my mom told me to go and play games with them so I'd get it too! LOL. We were a family of 8 kids and she wanted the whole "mess" done and over as soon as possible.
