I can still remember as a little girl lining up (LONG line) to get the polio shot. Kids crying, screaming, etc. and the nurses were public health nurses, many of whom had been WWII Army nurses. I started to cry and the battle ax who gave me mine just looked at me with one of those "don't start with me kid" looks. My arm hurt for days. That was 65 years ago and it's burned into my brain! ��

My dad told me that he and my mom had to stand in line at our neighborhood high school, in the rain, to receive the polio vaccine on a sugar cube. The line was a couple blocks long.
