So I did it. I was reluctant, don't think I need it. I've gotten the flu once in the last five years. I was down for over a week, but still...only once.
I am not as concerned about the vaccine as my reaction to it. Had a sever migraine the last time I got a vaccine, not looking forward to that possibility.
Stood in line for.....ready.....10 min. Why? I work on the Tsuu Tina Reserve, in their admin building. The First Nation people are considered high risk, apparantly, so the vaccine was being offered to all staff in the building. This building, though all offices, is quite the social area for the residents. It's always full of the community. So to increase my resistence, I chose to get the shot. 10 min wait here, 8 hours somewhere else....hmmmm, not a choice at all.
I think I've already been exposed to the flu, already fought it off at least twice. But, better safe than sorry I guess.
