Thanks to my employer, I’ve received both the seasonal flu and H1N1 flu vaccine shots. Hooray, no flu here!
“But, but, but… you’re not a healthcare worker!” you ask.
Well, yes, I sort of am. Not directly, mind you, but I do interact with a lot of healthcare workers and some patients. It’s all about herd immunity. And in case of serious pandemic and collapse of civilization due to an influenza outbreak, I may be recruited to help, so it only makes sense to take care of things.
Besides, I didn’t have to pay for the shots, just show up, scan my ID badge, and expose enough arm to get a stick and a nice Snoopy band-aid.
Yeah, nothing makes a Friday like a Snoopy band-aid.
