Fast forward to Feb. '57, the procedure does not seem to have changed much. Lined up in single file to be attacked on both sides by syringe wielding orderlies using the same syringe on each fresh customer (government sanctioned syringe sharing!).
The list is the same mentioned by harrym with addition of paratyphoid, (interestingly "wiki" suggests there is no such separate inoculation) however I recall having to fill in our own record of vaccination/inoculation cards with a list of all the jabs. These being handed in at the end of the line up and duly signed by the M.O.
These cards undoubtedly still exist in some darked archive because when researching my Father's WW1 service one of the documents produced was one written in his own hand stating his birth date, home address and next of kin. So if something written in 1917 still exists something from forty years later must be nearer the top of the pile.
