Flu Shot

I just got my flu shot and it's a much smaller needle than in the past.  It is no longer injected into the muscle (yay, no more arm pain) and the injection site will no resemble a mosquito bite.  Just an FYI.....happy vaccinations to you all.

Mine was still in the muscle, but it wasn't bad.  It was sore that night but then was fine

Got mine last week at work. The needle didn't hurt, but my arm still got sore for a day. Oh well -- still totally worth it! Making MH get it tomorrow.

I feel like a total dummy... but what's the scoop with babies? I forget if G already got his or if he'll get it at his 1 year check up with week.

P has his check up on Friday and I think he's on schedule to recieve the vaccination then. I should probably look at the vaccination schedule. Thanks for reminding me!

Thanks for the reminder, I need to do this, I keep on forgetting.  C got his first flu shot at his 1 year appt.  We have to go back after 30 days to get the second.

I got mine at work last week. It was in my arm, as usual.

I got mine at a Touch a Truck event and I think they were volunteers. I have a HUGE bruise and she hit a nerve or something because even 3 days later it really hurts like I just worked out type soreness. Boo!

This was mine as well. Needles don't bother me at all but my poor arm was sore the next day.

Also, A goes in next week for his year check up and I called and asked and they will do the shot then. Then a booster a month later.

Mine still hurt like a beyotch afterwards. But I feel like it didn't hurt as bad as last year, so maybe the needle is smaller. I think it also helped that they took it out of the fridge about 20mins before poking me with it. It hurt so bad last year, I am such a wuss when it comes to needles.
