A quick list of common vaccine injuries:
- becoming an adult
- having to go to that social event you hoped to miss
- still gotta go to work
- both legs remaining functional
- getting stuck with only a measly a day of fever instead of a week of heinous illness
- getting an ouchie on your arm
- leaving the office with a Snoopy band-aid like a total child
- missing out on the opportunity for cervical cancer or dementia

I have now had multiple staff and some docs from other parts of the hospital remark that they are belatedly rushing to get their family vaccinated against influenza, in case anyone has any thoughts on flu shots this year.

I saw 5 flu patients in 2 hrs on Christmas Eve. None were vaccinated. I’m not going to tell you this shot is a great match for the current flu A, but I am going to tell you that unvaccinated people make up an awful lot of my patients this week. Anecdote, certainly.
