Funny how some folks know the details of their early medical history, while others (like me) never committed those things to memory.
I just remembered that my dad sent me my childhood immunization records years and years ago. I've got them stored with other family records. Think I'll dig them out and have a look.
The smallpox inoculation was memorial.
It was not a simple injection, but many punctures similar to a tattoo procedure.
Hurt like hell. Not a baby in the world would have been tough enough not to howl.
Pretty memorial childhood memory to say the least.
