H1N1

So I thought I would blog about our experience today while getting Maija's H1N1 shot. We showed up to the Avenida Mall clinic at around 8:30-9 am, and lined up for only about 5 minutes, and got a number, and a time to come back. We were told we could come back between 10:30-11-30 am, and wait for our number to be called. We went for a long walk, and we had breakfast, and went to the park, which was so much nicer, than sitting outside in a long line up.
We came back, at around 10:15 am, and they were a bit off in the time for when to come back, so we went to check out a kids' clothing store, and then by 12:30 we went in after our number was called. I was so impressed with the nurses, and other health care workers. Considering they were dealing with hundreds of crying children, they were pleasant, and professional, and boy were they working fast! Our nurse was so kind, and well, I was also SOOOO proud of Maija, she didn't even cry at all (the nurse said she was her best girl today! I was so proud of her!)! It was a good experience overall. Although I know it took just as long as it did for people to get the vaccine last week, it was so much better than it would have been to sit in a long line for hours, and hours....
