How Many Adults Would Still Have A Record Of Their Polio Vaccination Status?

[sandyRoe]

Most of us would have been vaccinated when we were children.

[Togo]

I have proof in the form of a scar on my upper left arm.

[annie0000]

Wasn't the scar from the smallpox vaccination? I'm sure Polio was a sugar cube. In my day anyway. I have no record of any vaccinations but I do have the records for my now adult children.

[Zacs-Master]

Let’s not panic just yet, eh?

[Togo]

As kids we had TB, Polio, and Smallpox jabs. Late 40s early 50s.

[Peter Pedant]

very unlikely togo gi' us a look

we had injection when it first came out - ow! reusable needle - ow ow! - and then sugar lumps and I dont remember documentation - in those days the school queued up and just stuck their tongues out

The silent surveillance I am quite impressed with
I knew about poo culture from sewage but not that it was done. I think they have started for covid

They have identified the polio vaccine virus and THIS is the good old days was 'encouraged' as the live virus was known to spread and vaccinate refusers or absentees

BUT- - - the Russians reported back mutation ( live polio vaccine turning back to bad polio) in one in a million cases. SO what if everyone were vaccinated AND
of course the eggheads in Europe said - - - "you are vaccinating in a society where polio occurs and soooooo you are just identifying the wild type anyway."

there you are - only on AB - history of polio vaccination 1960-200

[compulsive foo-ers on AB may start fooing now
foo - what Salk den, foo why salk and sabin den
salk and sabin who dey den? - the possibilities for those who have got down here are endless]

[Peter Pedant]

and from the internet
What does a polio vaccine scar look like?
[Image of vaccine vial]
The scar may be round or oblong, and it may appear deeper than the surrounding skin. Usually, the scar is smaller than the diameter of a pencil eraser, though it can be larger. In some people, smallpox vaccination scars are itchy or uncomfortable. This is part of the body's normal response to scarring

yup widespread confusion between polio and smallpox vacca
and I would say BCG

[nailit]

Think mine is tattooed over....

[Prudie]

I had vaccinations, it was before the sugar cube version. No scar but I clearly remember it as the most painful vaccinations I've ever had. Only beaten by cortisone into the shoulder many many years later.

[Bobbisox1]

Mine was the sugar cube

[bobbie22]

I agree All the jabs were given when we were in school. Can’t remember the date. I remember taking my boys for the polio thing. It was given on a spoon. I wonder what is going to happen next !

[bobbie22]

We will have to wait and see what happens. The only way for me to find out recent jabs is the ring my surgery, and I bet lots of people will be doing that

Sabin sugar cube for me; they were very new, I think.

[DTCwordfan]

My problem is my VD record - I'll scratch my head and think about this just if Putin's mob have got around to tarnishing my record as a freedom fighter/DJ.

[Hopkirk]

VD record? Really?

[jno]

probably recorded by Steely Dan or 10cc or someone

[Hopkirk]

My wife's got VD.

[gulliver1]

I think the sugar cube was replaced with a bowl of rice krispies supplied by that horrible rep.

[Patsy33]

I remember having the sugar cube.

[Cloverjo]

Do we need a record of it?
I remember the sugar cube, back in the 70s.

[jno]

Cloverjo, I suppose the question is whether they still protect us.
