H1N1 jab : Taken!

With some courage, I stepped into one of the Healthway Clinics to take the H1N1 jab.

The receptionist did my registration. Before I could even change my mind, I was ushered into one of the consultation rooms.

A male doctor was already holding the needle with the syringe filled with the vaccine waiting for me! I told him I was quite scared of needles. He asked me to turn away and soon I felt a sharp bite into my skin followed by another pain as the vaccine went into my upper arm.

In about 10 minutes, I was already on my way home.

I have no obvious side-effects except the muscle ache which is common for any injections.
