They made a big deal of it, our entire elementary school got it at the same time. And they specifically said it was for German Measles, I don't think MMR had been invented yet. This would have been before 1970.
- lazide 2y agoIf pre 1970, you almost certainly got the smallpox vaccine too. At that time it was still an active problem and working to be actively eradicated. [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/smallpox-vaccine-scar https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/smallpox-vacc...] As far as I can tell, German measles vaccine doesn’t cause a scar anymore than MMR (it’s a sub component).
- mark-r 2y agoI don't know why they would have hidden the fact that smallpox was included, anti-vax wasn't a thing at the time. But I'll admit the possibility.
