Covid-19 Vaccination -- Have You Gotten It?

Re: Covid-19 Vaccination -- Have You Gotten It?
There was one injection that was by needle. Of course, this was “by the numbers.” Remove shirt and roll up sleeve of tee shirt. Get in line, walk to guy with swab, then step up to guy with the needle. So, one got to watch the people in front of you getting jabbed. Yours truly was getting more and more shakey as I got to swab guy where I fainted. I recall an el-tee with smelling salts then helping me walk to get the needle. (a good officer IMHO).
Since then, I look away when getting a jab and wii recite that story afterwards the uniform response is “all done.”

The vaccine scarring on my arm is a result of a vaccination I had as a small child circa 1940, still vsible today. A smallpox vaccine I believe?
Not a microchip for sure.

Just had my first Moderna shot at the Hudson County Drive Thru in Jersey City, NJ. Very efficient in and out in about 45 mins including parking up for 15 afterwards. I reckon they're doing about 200 cars an hour there.
It's slightly odd because car ownership is pretty low here (public transport is good), and I don't own a car. However, I rented a Zipcar for $30 for 2 hours which worked very well!
A few hours later nothing to report except the expected soreness of the arm.

I don't have the small pox vaccine, my parents likely do as they were born in 1958.

The mention of TB reminds me that TB vaccination was not used in the US. The fight against TB was via testing. I recall that TB vaccination would make the tuberculin test useless.

Growing up a TB test was an annual thing usually in late summer just before school, but I have never had one as an adult.
Maybe my parents were not vaccinated against small pox, I just figured they were as it hadn't been eradicated yet on the global scale in 1958 but looks like the last outbreak in the US was in 1949 so its very possible I guess by the late 50's/early 60's it was no longer considered needed.
