Bob C. - Memory lane.... when I was about ten we transferred to So. Fla where my dada ran a USMC Reserve Training Center. They had a doctor assigned to them and for awhile it seemed that every time we road along with my mom to go pick up our dad from work we got stuck! We got all of our shots up-to-date.... but soon we would enter the building with our hands covering the top of our arms.... LOL. Later, it was when I went through OCS and we had to line up by company and then in order based on the last two digits of our Social Security numbers.... and lucky me 06... I always got to go first!!!! So happy these kids can be protected with one less needle! Thank you northescambia for helping to get the word out about the Flumist program.

Recalling when was in elementary school in the early 1950's the health dept would come to school. Doctors in long white coats, nurses in their white and starched uniforms and caps and they'd set up tables in the main hallway. On those tables they had alcohol, cotton swabs, stainless steel containers with the needles in alcohol, glass syringes and bottle upon bottle of medicines to be injected and we'd be lined up at one end and marched to the other getting whatever shots were needed. Nobody fussed or complained that I remember. At the end we were given a cube of sugar with a greenish-blue dot on it which was the Polio vaccine. Seemed to be a good way to make sure we got vaccinated against the bad stuff out there. Parents, Health Dept, Schools all working together for a stronger healthier USA. Dusting off the old memory….
