Now that's surprising to me. I thought in the US everyone got it if it was still the '60's.Originally Posted by karstmama

No. I was born in 1972 and was not vaxed for smallbox. My brother (born in 1969) was. My friends who were born in 1971 were. So I just missed it.

My original vaccines, yes (just checked). When I had the whole panel redone? Dunno.

No. I was born in 1971. I think that the late 60's/early 70's was the period of phasing it out in the US.

nope, i guess i was on the cusp (born in '68).
I did not get it, but my older siblings did. I can actually distinctly remember the my mom having the conversation with the doctor about how I did not need it.Beth, mom to older DD (8/01) and younger DD (10/06) and always missing Leah (4/22 - 5/1/05)

My sister has the scar, and I don't. I don't think I got it. She was born in early '68, I was born in late '70. I wonder if it varied by state?

Nope, I was born in the mid-70s. My mom has the scar from it though, she was born in the 40s.
