I was just reading the local paper when I saw an ad for a Kindergarten Immunization Party! I can just see all the depressed little kids at the "party"! It says "You will get all the immunizations you need for school, plus snacks and fun!"
Oh boy!!

I remember when the "new" rubella shots were first rolled out in the 1960's. They had all of the kids go through a line and then sit on mats in the gym while classical music played.
I remember one pretty girl from my class crying in the arms of one of her friends. I felt like I wanted to be the one who consoled her. I think that was the first stirrings of love I felt.
I remember "shot day" at school every year. They didn't have permission from parents or anything; just lined everyone up in the gym and gave everyone shots. One year I got to assist the nurses by cleaning needles. I was all of ten years old.

walk thru a line, there are multiple dudes on each side with airgun vaccination guns.
they order you to roll up your sleeves, then you walk forward.
stop at the first two, shot in each arm
step up to the next two, get two more shots.
repeat
repeat
etc
half grown men standing around crying cuz it hurts so bad and a drill instrutor dog cussing all the babies for being wimps.
Military will make a man out of anybody. even women!
This is exactly how I got my measles/mumps vaccination. I went to school with a lot of Amish kids and they had a terrible outbreak during my 8th grade year. This sect of Amish here do not believe in immunizations, so we had to go thru a line and get vaccinated with air guns...it took 5 nurses to hold me down!!! I absolutely hate shots of any kinds! I was traumatized!

It's a good thing you're not going to Africa with us!!! The first time we went, we had to get about 8 different shots!
One year when I was in elementary school, they loaded us all up on the buses and took us to another school where everybody got vaccinated. What's the shot that leaves the scar on your arm? Smallpox? That's what we got. It was NOT a good day for anybody!
the next year, they loaded us up again. The crying and fussing started immediately and we didn't even know where we were going!!! Turns out they took us to the same school as the year before. And again it was for a vaccination. But this time it was that one that they put on a sugar cube and had you eat. We all wanted to be vaccinated several times for whatever that was!!! We were a happy bunch that day!
