Say, Loddy, do you remember the old timey Polio shots they gave out then...its not like now, with the oral vaccine, given in doses....in my time it was with the reusable, sterlized needle....
I remember the Polio scares, and when the finally got the vaccine...my dad and uncle from downstairs, loaded me and my brother, and my two cousins into the car, and took us all to our favorite family doc, Dr. Rosen...
They lined us four kids in a row, and one by one, Doc Rosen gave each one of us our shot in turn...
My mom and aunt did not go with in the car....I guess they did not want to hear the sound of four kids whining and crying about how much that shot hurt...so they entrusted us to the care of our dad and uncle...
Of course, dad and uncle were badgered into taking us kids all out for an ice cream cone after our shot...
