15. Those circular scars are odd

Back when they were vaccinating children in the public schools, I stood in line and got the polio vaccination. No one told me I was supposed to get a sore and then a scar so I wasn't concerned when I didn't. Somehow it slipped my mother's attention - she was a RN and knew what was supposed to happen since she was head nurse of pediatrics at the local hospital.

Years and years later when I was thinking about going to Europe for a semester our family doctor was reviewing vaccinations and giving me some when he realized I didn't have the polio vaccine scar. He was upset - I'd been unprotected for all those years. I guess herd immunity saved me from a horrible disease. So I got the polio vaccination then along with all sorts of others for diseases that were only found in foreign places.
