ventaHelp... my views are under attack! It seems that something I arbitrarily claimed on someone else's LJ is very wrong.
My claim was: everyone (in the UK, for approximately accurate values of everyone) had the BCG jab (ie TB vaccine) at secondary school. It seems that this isn't true, though.
What we need is a poll.

Or put another way, hasn't that particular practical "joke" been doing the round since people first realised that vaccinations might make your arm sore?
