I was an immunization officer at age 14. https://twitter.com/Walere_/status/1298555159501570048">https://twitter.com/Walere_/s...
It was funny because the mothers of the children I would immunize would say & #39;you& #39;re not much older than my baby& #39;

And I was very good at it, if I do say so myself.
I also discovered early how upsetting it was working in these sort of things.

They couldn& #39;t do the job of walking from house to house immunizing kids.
But they also had to return to base with empty kits and tallies (we used to keep tallies so you& #39;d know which houses were immunized and which were pending.)

You know how they got rid of the formula? With Sprite.
They& #39;d buy a bottle of Sprite, pour the whole immunization formula, bottle by bottle, into the sprite, and drink it.
Then return to base.
Yeesh.

Anyway. My real skill was that I was quick. Could run through a batch of kids like no man& #39;s business, but I was painfully shy.
Knocking on a door felt like torture, and you have to knock on doors to get access to the kids.
That& #39;s what the adults I teamed up with were for.

I loved Sundays because you could go to a church and just stay there.
Immunize ALL the babies and you& #39;re done for the day.
Apply that dainty little finger mark so you don& #39;t immunize the same baby twice.
This has been fun to reminisce about.
