Going on a holiday and experiencing winter for the first time definitely sounds interesting, exciting and intriguing. But falling ill whilst on the trip will definitely be a damper. Daddy and I have been contemplating about getting ourselves vaccinated for flu for the longest time and now with the H1N1 virus lurking, we sure do not want to take chances.
Several weeks ago, after consulting our family doc, we decided that it would be best that we take the H1N1 vaccination and put our names down on the waiting list. Yesterday evening, the clinic called and told us that stocks are finally in so this evening, we ventured down to our trusty doc to get ourselves the jab.
There have been a lot of talk about the vaccination and of course the fears of the side effects of this vaccination are very real indeed. However, I have been doing a lot of reading up on it and we know that this is best.
So there! We are inoculated! I wasn't expecting to be given a verification card like this and this whole experience just became "cool"! Haha! The only thing to note is, the vaccination only protects us against the H1N1 virus, not the common seasonal flu.
Those of you who are concerned and want more information, read up on what MOH has published regarding the vaccination.
