They're doing a daily blitz at the hospital for the H1N1.
For those who haven't gotten theirs yet, this is what you can expect:
1. A slight burning sensation when they inject the solution into the muscle. This is because the vaccine is thicker than the regular flu shot vaccine.
2. Mild discomfort at the injection site when you touch the area.
3. A mild sore arm similar to having lifted weights.
After you get the shot you are required to sit in a "post vaccination recovery area" for 5 minutes. For us that meant sitting at tables in the cafeteria close to where the shots were being given.
Apparently they require you to sit there because there is a small chance that the adjuvant added to the vaccine to boost your immune response, can cause a mild drop in blood pressure. It's not serious and will happen soon after the shot is given if it's going to happen at all. It passes quickly.
