A shot in the arm.

[vakkotaur]

The annual free (to employees) influenza vaccination was going on so I did that again this year. I know some dislike needles, and I'm no great fan of them, but the ones used for this are nice and small and not too bad a stick -- and it sure beats having influenza. I'm fine as long as I don't watch. I felt it this year. A year or two ago it was over and I hadn't even noticed.

I hear some folks expect to be a bit ill over the weekend from the vaccination. (Gee, guess why the flu shots are given on a Friday.) That, fortunately, is one problem I have not had and hope never to. It makes me wonder if some feel ill because they expect to feel ill.
