At least it's not farty pads with splatter guards.

I remember being vaccinated for small pox I think by the school nurse. They broke a little glass vial and twisted it on your arm leaving a round scar. I still have mine.

I remember when festivals and fairs often had an exhibit of someone in an iron lung.

I remember sleeping outside under the stars in the summer time. We slept on cloth bags filled with hay, called pallet beds. It sounds very itchy to me now, but when I was a kid that was the best sleep ever. The breeze, the crickets, the coyotes howling just past the tree line.

I remember lining up in the elementary school cafeteria where they gave us each a polio booster dose on a sugar cube. My Mom said she & Dad cried with relief when the first polio vaccine came out (I was a baby); his relatives had a daughter in an iron lung.

I remember what people called tramps or hobos stopping at my grandparents place and asking for work for a meal in the late 40's. She would fix a meal that they would eat on the big red and wide steps to the back porch in the shade without having to work for any of it.

I still have mine too. Given by the school nurse. I remember that being incredibly painful.

I remember when penny candy was common. Tootsie rolls were my favorite and my grandfather always had some pennies for me.
