Vaccinations

 Hi there

I was talking to a younger guy at the beach.  He'd read that we might have to carry a vaccination card around with us once we got our Covid jabs.

He was horrified when I told him that before travelling to England in 1965 I was required to have a smallpox vaccination and a certificate.  I still had the small vaccination scar on my arm and showed it to him.

The vaccination caused many of us to feel slightly off, with an aching arm for a few days, but we world travellers never thought anything about it.

Smallpox was 'officially' eradicated.
