I finally did it.

I may have been on the fence, but after reading about her son, his son, and her situation, it was the extra push I needed to make my decision.

My Ob/Gyn office received a small shipment of the H1N1 vaccine last week.  Being pregnant, I am on their priority list and was called immediately.

So I went.

As much as I wish we could lock ourselves inside until spring, we cannot.

My husband takes public transportation to work.  My daughter goes to preschool.

And I am obligated to assist in my daughter’s classroom every few weeks, as well as walk in and out of a hospital for check-ups.

There is too much at risk to go unprotected.

The only problem now is finding a way to get everyone else in our house vaccinated.

There is a widespread shortage here.  Clinic lines are hours long, and scores of people end up being turned away.

Turns out the vaccine has become liquid gold.
