You might be thinking of the smallpox vaccine.

Bingo, whoops. Not sure why I mixed up polio and smallpox but you nailed it.

When I saw the article I thought exactly the same thing. I had to check the Kaiser app, but apparently I have had 4 polio shots as a child.

I don't have the smallpox vaccine though. I know my mom has a big scar on the inside of her arm from that one, so I am pretty sure they've phased that one out.

Or the oral (active) polio vaccine?
