One Shot Down, One Booster To Go

I decided to have the Prince vaccinated against the H1N1 flu virus. Initially I had some reservations regarding the safety of the vaccine (it seemed to me that they really rushed it out), but our family doctor recommended getting it. Besides, she's the one who went to medical school, not me. I trust her judgement.

Yesterday was vaccination day at the Prince's school. I was told to send him to school in a short sleeved shirt because they didn't know whether they were getting the injection or the nasal mist. I was hoping for the nasal mist because I wasn't sure how the Prince would take to getting an injection.

When I picked him up from school, he walked up to me and proudly showed me his sticker and then he took off his jacket and showed me his band-aid. "I was brave and I didn't cry", he told me as we walked to the car. I guess they got the injection.

Now I have to wait one month and get his booster, and then at the end of next month LP will be old enough to receive the vaccine too. I hope we can stay well until then.
