We stood in the rain Saturday morning. Mist, drizzle, and pouring rain. And my big, trusty golf umbrella that is usually in the van cargo area was missing. A long line stretched on the sidewalk out to the road at the Health Department for their free H1N1 Flu Clinic. The process left me wet and grumpy (at one point I wanted to grab the syringe out the nurse's hand and administer the shot myself) but I am very thankful to them for offering this service. In the end my children rode home in their skivvies (me, though tempted, did not want to risk indecent exposure) and are immunized with the H1N1 vaccine...well at least they have half the immunity. Let's hope they have enough supply to administer a 2nd dose. We plan to stay healthy this season!

I'm just hoping mine can get/stay well long enough to get a dose. Praying for a healthy winter for all of us.
As I write this, Kate is going on 3 hours waiting at the Fairfax clinic for Simon and Mary's shots. Sounds poorly organized administered. You and she can commiserate later. :)
Did I say 3? I meant 4 and a half.
Way to go! So tough to get all 3 in one place, much less in the rain! And thanks for the diaper cream comment!
We got there at 9:10am and saw the line of 500 (our estimate) and went home. I drove by at noon on my way to work and the line in the parking lot was down to 10 - it was also pouring down rain. I called up Don and he & the girls got immunized with only a short wait :-)
