Why am I the only person I know that got a small pox vaccination in the 60s, but don't have a scar to show for it?

I don’t have one either. It wasn’t universal, and if you didn’t pick at the reaction from the vaccination, it wasn’t as pronounced a scar.

I have absolutely no trace of it. I don’t remember any reaction either. Does it mean we had a natural immunity to small pox, maybe?

Oh my – it is the coming of the a-poxalypse.

I don’t think they even vaccinate for it any more.

They don’t vaccinate for it. Nobody on Earth has had smallpox for over 40 years.

Looking at my scar for the first time in many many years, its fainter than I remember. Maybe it fades.

I never ever got one. I felt like such an outcast!

They stopped using it in the 1970’s.

To answer your Q, the scar was the result of a reaction of the body to the vaccine which caused swelling that hardened over time. Maybe your body didn’t have a negative reaction to the vaccine. More info

Right? Maybe I would have been immune to small pox. It’s just interesting.

I remember back then & the doctors said that IF you didn’t develop a scar that it meant that the vaccine didn’t take & you should be vaccinated again. Since opinions have changed since then, it appears that you dodged a bullet!!!

Well! Now I’m REALLY on the hunt! I could be unprotected from small pox!

I was vaccinated in the 60’s, and I don’t have a scar either.

Me neither.
