up with the vaccine that everybody had on their arm. And my cousin was saying that her daughter who is 8 never got that vaccine. Took me a while to come up with what it was. I remember traveling with my parents when I was in high school, we went somewhere in europe, I think Yugoslavia, and I had go get re-vaccinated to travel there. That would have been in 1974 or 1975. The 2nd time I got vaccinated, it never left a mark like the first time did. Strangely enough, I got mine on my leg when I was a baby, not the arm.
