42. Lived in a very rural area - very isolated

But that isolation didn't prevent people from contracting polio. In the 7 mile or so radius of church and school, as a kid I personally knew 10 people who exhibited some form of paralysis from polio. When the Salk vaccine became available, as mentioned in other posts, every school kid lined up and was shot in the arm. But not only the school kids. Any adult in the community who so desired was also in line. That is how all the vaccinations were handled. Of course in the mid 50's that was only DPT and small pox. My senior year in HS, the small pox was administered shortly before the Jr. Sr. prom. All of the girls dressed in their beautiful sleeveless prom dresses were sporting big, ugly oozing and scabbing pox scars on their upper left bare arms. 'Twas a lovely fashion accessory.😆
