Typhus was probably the worst vaccine given in boot camp.

I did fine with that one. None of the vaccines ever did more than cause some localized inflammation, which dissipated over a couple of days.

The worst vaccine was the smallpox one. It itches like crazy.

Did you have to run through the gauntlet of medics with shot “guns” not needles. We got cut a few times by the “guns” some troops fainted and we're carted off. We were sick and sore the next day but no one cared.
