The Immunization Scourge

My daughter survived her visit to the doctor today – even though she had serious doubts.  She had to get shots today to bring her up to date with her immunizations and they also tested her iron level.  It was a total of 4 sticks and 1 prick to get it all done and it covered 8 different diseases.  Now she doesn’t HAVE to have any shots until she’s 11 (or unless we lie and say we’ve got religious objections but now that this is on the internet I just burned that bridge).  Of course we might want to get her a flu shot here or there.  But we can say goodbye to Diptheria, Tetanus, Pertusis, Polio, Chicken Pox, Measles, Mumps and Rubella.

Wait, I forgot about her Hep A shot – she got that one too.
