This.
I do remember as a kid having to get a second small pox vaccination even though I still have the scar on my arm from the first one. The second vaccination did nothing to me, except make me bleed at the site where they scratched my arm.
I had mumps as a kid, measles, and lots of vaccinations. All the kids in school lined up to get a sugar cube for polio. That was a treat!
The worst was having chicken pox as a kid makes me likely to get shingles as a geezer. I have had the shot to help prevent that. I get the pneumonia vaccination and a flu shot every year.
I grew up in the leave it to beaver era, and ate many meals with hands dirtier than mom would have approved of. She would ask if we washed out hands, and we always figured that meant when we took a bath that morning.
