See this, Susie, yes, they were the smallpox vaccinations. Was a comment on You Tube made in 2007.
"Checking out my old smallpox vaccination scar for vaccine. Over fifty years ago a doctor scratched the skin of my upper left arm with a small knife and smeared the smallpox vaccine into the wound. This barbaric technique was common practice in those days amongst some older doctors and resulted in a very large scar."

Ya I remember have the smallpox vaccine in the 60s Kate and the doctor using like bobbin with needles sticking out of one end and keep stabbing my upper left arm with it before applying the vaccine, if I remember rightly I was a bit rough for a few days after that and one of the other lads who was going away on holiday with us was very poorly with it, it actually put him in bed for about 10 days
