Any older nurses here? We have a bit of a family mystery- [View all]

My sister and I both recall that when we were about ages 2-7, maybe a year or so younger, c.1960, my Mom took all five of us down to the doctor's to get a shot. The injection site was our buttocks, not our arms. It doesn't seem likely to have been a standard immunization. My sister thinks we'd been exposed to something - strep? rubella? Any ideas what this could have been all about? We don't recall being sick, but I recall having a terrible headache afterward - possibly a migraine! To this day, I can have blood drawn or donate blood, but the thought of an injection makes me queasy!
