Should I go get my h1n1 vaccine after school?

They have it at walgreens behind my house according to the internet.  I don't feel like getting it, but know I should...

I just feel like they're not going to know what they are doing and it's going to hurt more than it has to.

    I got mine at a CVS (local drugstore) and it was fine. My arm was sore for a few days, but nothing worse than normal.

    If it's a Walgreens take care clinic then I wouldn't worry about them not knowing what they are doing. If it's the pharmacists I wouldn't worry either, my dad is one there and they train them to give the vaccines.

    I got my regular flu shot at Walgreens.  It was no big deal.  I'd go if I were you.  I'm jealous you have it available to you!

    When I got the h1n1 it didn't hurt at all - I didn't feel the shot go in, no pain in the arm afterwards, nothing. It was seriously the easiest vaccine I have ever gotten.

    The interenet said all the Walgreens by my house had it to. I went there and they said they wouldn't have it until mid November. Call first!

    Yes, go.  The H1N1 vaccine barely hurt at all compared to the normal flu vaccine.

    Well. It's not like they'll just have a clerk giving them out if that's what you're worried about.

    Thanks ladies!  I guess I'll make it a point to get it after school, it gives me a good excuse to take a nap too.

    Yes!  I have the flu right now and it sucks ass.  I'm not sure if it's H1N1 but I was exposed to it on Wednesday and was puking with a high fever and teeth-chattering chills early Saturday morning.  Not fun so definately go get it!!!

    If you would have asked me two weeks ago, I would have said no.  Now that I have had H1N1 and was hospitalized I say get it.  I made my mom go and get it and the flu shot.

    Definitely call first.  Flu.gov says all the Walgreens in my area have the shot but they don't.  I was able to get mine at my OB's office on Friday.  The shot hurt going in but I rubbed my arm for a while afterwards and it never got very sore.  My arm was really sore for a few days after the seasonal flu shot.
