Strange as it may sound, all the recent news about vaccines has brought back some scary childhood memories for me.

You see my dad, a wonderful man and a devoted general practitioner, made sure that my brother and I were always up to date with our vaccinations and booster shots. My brother handled these traumatic events fairly well but unfortunately, I tended to make things a bit more complicated. Polio shots were the worst for me and I can still remember the time I tried to escape by locking myself in the bathroom.
