Have I Been Vaccinated?
https://www.historyofvaccines.org/content/art...vaccinated
U.S. residents born between 1963 and 1971
were recommended to receive the following childhood vaccines:
•Smallpox
•DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis)
•Polio (oral live attenuated poliovirus vaccine)
•Measles
Mumps vaccination was also available starting in 1967; rubella vaccination was available in 1969.
Prior to 1963
…changes to the list of available vaccines were frequent. Immunization for polio became widely available in 1955; for pertussis in the 1940s; for tetanus in 1938; and for diphtheria in 1926. (The combined DTP immunization for the latter three diseases was available in 1948.)
Based on the recommendations in place when you were born, you can get a general idea of which vaccinations you might have received, assuming the schedules were followed. But remember: the fact that a vaccine was recommended doesn’t mean you received it. Medical records are still the only way to be certain that a particular vaccination was given.
