Yup - the periodic vaccinations in elementary school were a kind of rite-of-passage, and, in retrospect, a bonding experience. There were always stories of someone who had fainted on receiving the poke - or maybe before? I can't remember hearing of anyone whose parents refused permission, although I suppose there must have been the odd person who couldn't get one for some obscure health reason or because they'd already received it elsewhere.
