First shots of H1N1 vaccine

We all know about this new influenza virus H1N1 that is spreading lately and infected some people to various countries. Well, two weeks ago we received a letter from the Health Department here informing that our two girls have to be vaccinated at the specified clinic without rendez-vous, so last Thursday we were at the clinic. Dozens of children and adults alike were in the room waiting to be called. Actually, it's a nationwide vaccine sponsored by the government and as I've seen in the TV no need to be surprised about the waiting thing. So in time of our turn to present the letter, we were asked also if we would like to have ourselves (MK and I) to be vaccinated that day. We sat for a while to think and reading its side effects. I told MK, now that we are here why not take the chance. So the four of us got the first vaccine of H1N1 and we are set to come back in the next few weeks for the second vaccine.
I felt the side effect on the following day so as with MK, felt very tired and really wanted to rest. That's all and after couple of hours it was gone. For the girls, it seemed they did not feel the side effect because they were all well and playing the next day.
Bon, now at least we are done.
