I had several friends who had pretty sore arms afterward, so I asked if I could have mine in a larger muscle, if you know what I mean.

I also checked if my nurse was wearing gloves.. I have a fear of catching something from a nurse who didn't take proper precautions,then touched someone with something and spread that something to me... did that make sense?? ya I'm neurotic...<br />thank goodness she was wearing gloves.<br />Sadly, I'm the one who cracked a lame joke in the scenario. wish i was as cool as you ;PGamma-rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149803854567501954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837418360328434663.post-48930472708681315762009-12-13T15:03:56.200-06:002009-12-13T15:03:56.200-06:00@mamma – well there you have it.

Health care is free in the US also.<br /><br />@mamaya – nothing wrong with building up the immune system!<br /><br />@Courtney – well luckily this was Sweden and they fear all forms of conflict so I avoided riots despite the hordes trying to get through the door.<br /><br />@anonymous – that is a solid line. Mine was definitely not that long.<br /><br />@terander – I mean I felt that someone had stuck a needle into it, but it definitely wasn’t out of action for three days.<br /><br />@anonymous – well... no. It did kind of get me to raise an eyebrow.<br /><br />@Jessy – I read that too. Pretty impressive.

There was a short line, I got a number, went into the auditorium where they gave the vaccination, sat down and filled out my information on a sheet and it was also "free" to get. The woman who "shot me up" also didn't wear gloves and asked me if I was allergic to eggs too (since the yokes are what they put the vaccine in). Same experience here in the US besides the hordes of people clammering to get in haha. I have heard of the riots elsewhere through and people having to wait hours upon hours to get in though.Courtneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837418360328434663.post-63733447768128466532009-12-12T10:24:05.790-06:002009-12-12T10:24:05.790-06:00Me and my one year old son already oinked the dise...Me and my one year old son already oinked the disease! And we came out on the other side alive! <br /><br />In OUR experience: <br />We were sick 3 days, congestion, headaches etc<br />One day was filled with fever/utter pain and then when it was over .. it was over. No more of that, just feeling stuffy and hazy. <br /><br />I did it the manly way. Met it full on (unvoluntarily ), survived to tell the story and a slightly stronger immunity system.Mamayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946633520467508873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837418360328434663.post-1371408059064592792009-12-12T10:08:23.409-06:002009-12-12T10:08:23.409-06:00I got mine here a couple weeks ago and it was also...I got mine here a couple weeks ago and it was also free.
