They want to vaccinate me!

starryeyedtiger · Apr 13, 2007

Thanks guys! Ya'll are soo sweet! My appointment was rescheduled for Tuesday. I went to the clinic this morning to get my first round for the Hep. B vaccine and they were so busy that they asked if i mind comming in on Tues. I said no problem!

(hehe i didn't have to get a shot today!

) Tues is one of my off days, so that works out perfectly. I'm going to see if some of my coworkers who haven't got the shot yet want to all go together

So i guess i will be vaccinated on Tuesday. They were really sweet when i went up there so i'm not worried about mean nurses or anything like that. I guess being Friday they were just busy since it's a county health dpt

Oh well, i'm not going to complaine that i didn't get a shot today

I'm happy! So Tuesday it is

I will be thinking of you when you get your shot(s) Nikki!!

The only time I've ever had a vacination hurt was when the person giving it didn't do it right and hit a nerve in my arm. My arm ached for weeks after that.

If the needle is given right you shouldn't have much if any discomfort.

ouch! you poor thing!

/ I've never had a shot that was just "unbearable" just slight stinging and soreness for a big...nothing aweful. i'm lucky

Blood tests are a different story for me though! I HATE them./ I definitely try to be a bit gentle when i vaccinate/draw blood from all of our shelter furbabies because if it's not done right you can bend a needle or really hurt. Sometimes it's hard when we have a feral kitty or a raccoon in the trap cages because they're soo wild we have to put them in a little space like the trap/e cage to scoot the bars in to give them their shot/anestesia in the muscles. Raccoons are the worst! But it really doesn't take much to be gentle with a bit of practice

I try to be gentle because i would want others to be gentle to me

As far as I go though-i've had the hep. b shots before and did well with them so i'm not too worried. (had them back in 95 & 96) I honestly would not get the shot if i weren't being foreced into it just because i don't like shots!

I don't understand why they are making you get it again if you have had it already. I had to get them because I am in the medical field, but I was under the impression that I would not have to get them again as long as my blood tested with the antibodies in it. Can't they just check you and see if you are immune?? I wouldn't want to have to go through the whole thing again. One of my friends in school forgot about the 6 month one and has to start all over again....

I obviously don't know to quote people properly

I'm not sure. I thought it only was good for 10 years. I also had them back in 95-96'. So i'm due. I will ask about a blood test if i need one. Thankyou for mentioning that

The health dpt. wants all Animal Control employees to get them because we work with needles/syringes as well as surgical tools every day and are around the public all the time...so it's for our safety is why as far as i understand them.

I'm going on Tues so i'll ask then!

I got those shots back when I was a phlebotomist in a blood bank. If you work with blood or sharps, its a good idea.

krazycatlover · Apr 14, 2007

I need to get vacinated. I wish my work paid for it then it would be esier for me to go do it.

When I got the Hep B shot it made me all goofy for a few hours. It felt like I was floating off into the sea.

You may want to have someone keep and eye on you when you have it done.

Oh, and if it does happen to you, get a Sponge Bob Square Pants bandage. It should make it more fun.

Exactly! I definitely think it's a good idea considering how many sharps we handle everyday!

Do they require it? If so, they should pay for it or compensate you for it. Can you talk to them?

Heather you crack me up!!! I'll have to ask for a special band-aid when i get my bobo!

It made you feel like you were floating? That's weird! I don't remember having that reaction before but after i get my shot, i'll definitely go straight home and chill out for a bit just to be safe

They want to vaccinate me!
