Re: Polio Vaccinations
Like you, Panzey, I remember both scenarios related to vaccinations. I definitely remember classes lining up and walking over to the health department for shots……but at least one or maybe even two boosters were needed after the first polio shot and I remember getting those by a drop on a sugar cube at one of the churches, Methodist maybe. But now that I have said that, I’m thinking I’ve lost my mind! On a SUGAR CUBE!?! Can that be right or did I dream it? I also don’t remember even having to show a permission slip signed by parents….or consent of any kind…..just took the shots and polio was wiped out for the most part. As far as nurses coming to the school….I don’t remember being vaccinated that way myself…..but we have had pictures posted on here of that very thing….nurses giving shots to students in the hallway.
