Flu Shots

In preparation for the coming Fall, we went and got our flu shots at DHMC. It's kind of an event, and we always manage to run into someone we know. They hold a health fair and it has a bit of a party atmosphere, with giveaways and vendors. At least that was how it was last year. We missed the first session this year, and I'd heard that nearly 5000 people showed up. I spoke with some people who went and they said the line went out the door.

This time around, the crowd wasn't bad at all. Best of all, the kids got to have their vaccines done by inhaler, which meant no needles. They do very well with shots, but given the choice, why wouldn't you choose the nasal route?

Personally, I wanted it too, but when I arm-wrestled the kids to see who got to have the inhaler, i lost. I had to take my shot like a man. Now my shoulder hurts.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Brian Hoskins for the pic.
