I never got a swine flu Vax in 1976, and I worked in a hospital at the time

I think I got one - the year looks about right for what I remember (in college). I’ve only had one “flu” vax in my life, and that was it. My mom told me to get it and at that point, the ‘big scare’ was on, so I did it - had to drive to the State Fair grounds for a “clinic” type operation. They didn’t use a needle - shot it through the skin and boy, I’d rather have had a needle. No side effects, thank goodness.

I was in the Army at the time and had no choice about it.

I was in the Air Force and had to take one. I seem to remember getting a sore arm from the shot.
