A Long Day

We’ve been waiting for C’s pediatrician’s office to get the H1N1 vaccine.   They did get a small amount in, but it was allocated to high-risk children – those with asthma, diabetes, cerebal palsy, etc. 

Last weekend, our county held public vaccination clinics.  S and I decided to take C so she could at least get the first shot.  (At her age, she’ll need a second booster as well.)   The clinic was from 9:30 to 3:30am. 

We arrived at 7:30am after waking up a sleepy C.  The line was already around the building!   We settled in line.   Luckily, I brought snacks for C as well as some books.   But, she was very content with playing games and videos on our iPhones. 

She did surprisingly well considering it was SEVEN hours from the time we got there to C getting the vaccine!   She cried and screamed when she saw all the other young kids doing the same in the room where the shots were taking place.   But, we managed to get through that.

A very long day, but I’m glad that C has received the vaccine.
