I got mine in March, and I don't have a scar of any kind, much less hideous. The only possible side effect I had was that a skin tag near the injection site turned colors and fell off. That may or may not be related to the vaccination.

Did your doctor examine the vaccination area and confirm that you are now resistant? Because usually no scarring from a Smallpox vaccination indicates it failed to work.

There was no doctor involved. It was an enlisted navy guy. The only thing that got examined was the tuburculosis scratch test, and I had that done and certified at the local health dept, paperwork turned in to medical later.

I'm beginning to think that things have changed a LOT from when folks last had all the vaccinations. The hep. shot I dreaded, but it wasn't bad. It's not the old GG syrup shot.
