Do any of you more seasoned, wise people remember getting lined up like a herd of cattle in your elementary school hallway, and the nurse going down the line popping your upper arm with a needle gun that had 5 needles in one, and what that was for?

We got sugar cubes for our polio vaccination, also in school.
I always thought the cattle thing was for TB, but now I think it was for small pox because it left a scar on most people. It didn’t leave a scar on me, and I always felt like a freak. I swear I was the only one who didn’t have a scar from it.
Others say it was for measles, but I don’t think they vaccinated for measles back in the olden days. Either we got the measles or we didn’t, as kids.
What was that for? It got Facebook raging, so maybe we can get something going on here, like we need excuses to rage.
