Can someone tell me hat the Small pox vaccine scar looks like? I have heard differing ideas. I thought the large scar was a polio vaccine...but perhaps I am wrong. D

The scar is from the smallpox vaccination, and is located on your upper arm.

No everyone will have a large scar from the Small pox vaccine. I can't find a scar on my arm that would be caused by the vaccine so I asked my mother about it yesterday. I do remember having to wear a dome shaped, hard patch on my upper arm for a couple days when I was very young. I asked her about the patch and she said that was what they put on my arm when I got my small pox shot.

I was vaccinated in 1968 and my scar is about the size of a dime on my left upper arm.
I can remember having a very bad reaction from it too.

We got the polio vaccine on a sugar cube in the early 50's. Polio vacination is white scar on upper arm near shoulder.

Can someone tell me hat the Small pox vaccine scar looks like? It looks as though someone burned you on the upper arm with a small car cigarette lighter; roughly circular and with pin pricks where the vaccine needle was dipped and jabbed repeatedly in the epidermal layer of flesh at the apex of the outer shoulder muscle.
