From middle school on I was in school with a girl who had contracted polio when she was quite young. I don't know what all she went through but by the time I met her she had one leg much smaller than the other and that leg was also turned out to the side a bit. She had a very noticeable limp. It wasn't till I met her that I knew part of the reason for those sugar cubes.
The first time I received the oral polio vaccination was in 1967. I had just started my senior year in high school.
I remember getting the polio vac cube when I was in the elementary school I attended K-3. We moved from that town in the summer of '66.
With all the vaccination talk...when I was 2 I nearly died from a Typhoid inoculation. That always raises some eyebrows when I have to fill out allergy information. I was just told from the time I was very young not to ever get another one.
