Yes.
No.
I don't know.
Pass me a bandaid.
I don't have the circular scar, but my research says the vaccine ceased in Australia in 1980, and I would have been 7. I know people around my age have the scar, so I think I just missed it.
I was born in 1977, but I was not vaxed for it, however there is a line for it is listed in my baby book; the MMR however wasn't and I got that at 15 months old.

I did not get a smallpox vax (born in 1981) and there's no option for it on my immunization card. The only vaxes required back then were DTP, Polio, and MMR I think.
I got it and have the scar on my arm. I was born in 79 outside of the US. My brother who was born in the same country in 86 also got it.

I received it (born in '66) but don't have the scar, so thinking the scar isn't necessarily indicative of having had it (or not). However, my mother heard at the time that my not having the scar means the vaccine didn't "take", but I've never looked into whether that's supposed to be the case or not...

I have no idea. I could swear I used to have the scar, but I just checked both of my arms now and there is nothing there. I was born in '71.

Did not get it. Born in 78 in Canada. My mom's is on her thigh, my dad's is on his arm. I also heard without the scar, the vaccine did not work.
