Flu Mist

Today Will and I got our flu vaccination - via mist. I've been getting flu shots for several years now - working in healthcare, working in schools and working for the government made it necessary/possible. Last year, because I was pregnant, my midwife gave me a special flu shot. But, today was a new experience. We were able to get our vaccination via mist. It's pretty amazing that they have figured out a simpler way to give it - I didn't have to pull up (or down) my sleeve, I don't have a sore arm, and there wasn't any dangerous medical waste.

Liam's pediatrician recommended that we get both the seasonal and h1n1 vaccinations because Liam is so young and we are in the age group that seems to be being hit hardest by the flu this year. However, despite having an infant at home, I don't think we'll ever be able to get on a list for the h1n1 vaccine. Surprisingly, getting the seasonal one was VERY easy. We called the company distributing them for the state and made an appointment. It only took about 10 minutes today when we were there and our insurance covered it completely!

And, just because I didn't post one yesterday, I will end with a cute picture of our little man.
