I am about 99% sure that we all had H1N1 -- for about a 2 week period my kids' school had 1/3 out sick, can you believe it? -- and it seemed like unnecessary trauma. I still feel a little odd about it, though, like I'm taking a huge risk. Sigh.

Not that shots are that bad, but that is clearly a kid who doesn't know much about flu shots. Which, you know, probably worked in your favour. Sadly, my own preschooler has seen her baby brother's immunizations, so she's wise to the whole thing.<br /><br />I'm glad you were able to get it done, and that it was relatively Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33659348.post-58708236518116370922009-11-06T11:29:53.129-05:002009-11-06T11:29:53.129-05:00I've got a post on our vaccinations brewing......I've got a post on our vaccinations brewing... the short version is it took three trips to the county health center to get us all vaccinated (Hubby and I qualify because we have a newborn at home). We all got the FluMist, even though I'm technically not supposed to because I have asthma. It is so mild, though, that I decided I'd just neglect to mention it.

But he got v. happy when they gave him a juice box of orange juice, and just as we were leaving the sit and wait area, he announced, "I'm HAPPY now!
