Way back in about the mid 1950's I went to private school and the headmaster's wife drove four of us schoolboys to get the polio vaccination. This was is in UK. After she dropped us off she had to go to the dentist. We the boys decided we were better off going to get the vaccination than going to the dentist. I was probably around nine at the time.

No big deal getting the shot but polio apparently was very bad if you got it. The iron lung was developed to assist breathing.
