AS CWS has implied, you would have received the jab at school, not via your GP. I remember having jabs at school in the 1950s, but have no idea what they were — I assume diphtheria, smallpox and polio immunizations, since these were routinely given to everyone.
The only vaccination I recall from grammar school days in the 1950s was BCG for tuberculosis.
Whether or not I had had a smallpox vaccination earlier, I needed one in June 1960 before my first flight to North America.
