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.

John, this is quite worrying, effective Smallpox vaccination doesn't just require the shot/scratch to be given correctly it also needs a checkup a few days later.

I wonder if the Smallpox vaccine they used on you had been diluted? The government was debating this a few months ago.
