53. Probably.

And when it was you were growing up.

My mother always got a positive test for TB because when she was a nurse in training in the 1930s, she worked in a TB ward at some point. She never had an active case. but it showed up.

And regarding smallpox. The last outbreak in this country was in 1948. I recall reading that there was evidence that people who had had their last smallpox vaccination 50 years earlier were still protected. Wow.

In the 1970s, when I was doing a certain amount of international travel, we had to show proof of a recent (within the past 3 years I believe) smallpox vaccination. I kept on misplacing the yellow vaccination certificate that recorded such things, so I kept on having to get a new vaccination. After a while, the vaccination site simply didn't do anything.

I did just now look, and cannot find any evidence of a scar, which I remember clearly from my youth. Ah, age! It does bring certain benefits. I'm 72, if anyone actually cares.
