Didn't all you South Africans get the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine around 6 years old?

I recall mine, the nurse was surnamed Sithole and she was less than impressed with my juvenile joke to my friend that her name was "sit in a hole". She was nice to me when she gave the the jab though.

Not quite as exciting as when we needed to have a vaccine aged about 11 or 12, and as the first two or three (we were sorted by gender, then alphabet, I was very near the front) got to see the girl who was at the end of the girls line's naked bum. Thanks Lara.

Yeah, but Millennials don't believe in it.

Not sure exactly but I think it was the smallpox one.

Had all my childhood vaccines again in the past few months, cos the NHS has no record of me having had them (and nor do I)

Did you get it as a child in SA, do you still have the mark on your left shoulder? Mine seems to have faded.

Never had a mark. No idea if I had it or not to be honest.

Can't say I've heard of anyone not having a mark.

I think that big round scar is a smallpox vaccination scar?
Or it could be BCG, which is given at birth. I wasn't born in SA so it's possible I didn't have it.
