I got my smallpox vaccine last week. I’ve got a nice blister-like sore on my arm. That means it took and I’ll be immune to the small pox. Everyone asks me why I volunteered to get the vaccine. I work in an Emergency Room that is a Level 2 Trauma Center. Who know what sort of diseases I come in contact with in the course of a day. The stronger my immune system the better in my opinion. I hate needles and that 2 pronged fork was worse than any needle I’ve had. I had to get stuck 6 times. No prior vaccination people got 3 sticks. I got 3 extra because the first 3 didn’t bleed enough. I do however feel sorry for the ones who got vaccinated as kids. They got 15 sticks.
