Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was literally confused for a minute. "Don't you mean a FLU SHOT??.... oh, right."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So far only Franny has had her flu vaccine, but not a shot; we went with flu mist. Need to get her bro to the doc to get his too. I keep forgeting the ease of going to CVS for myself. Duh!

Is there one place in particular she isn't doing well? can you find a tutor for that subject?

Yes and no. Her math and science teacher is erratic and demaning in his grading and not a great teacher, so she's not doing well in those subjects, but up until this year math was real strength of hers. I think it's more work habits, reading comprehension, and retention.

My kids both got flu mist this year too. I got a shot. Not as ouchy as last year's (where my arm swelled up and looked like I was smuggling a bowling ball in my sleeve).

Yeah, Jessica, I'm getting the mist this year, because that same reaction happened to me both times I got the...vaccine.

The kids and I got flu shots. (mr. flea is a grown man and can deal with his own vaccinations.) I have to call the doctor to figure out when I am supposed to bring Casper in for her round-2 HPV vaccination. I think there are 3 total and 8 weeks between, so she's due for round 2.

Yes, I have an 11 year old and I am vaccinating her against the virus that causes genital warts (and cervical cancer). Because odds are good that someday she will have sex. Also, she asked for underarm deodorant yesterday, and borrowed mine, but I think we'll be buying her her own next weekend.

Hell yeah, HPV vaccine, flea! If I had a stepdaughter, I'd get it done, too.

...wait, is it indicated just for girls? or should boys get it, too?

I went to the dentist this morning, and he did a fill rather than a crown, so I didn't need a local anesthetic and I was back at my office a little after 9. It wasn't particularly fun, but definitely not traumatic.

I got my flu shot a month ago.

They do recommend HPV for boys as well as girls.

Strix,

It is recommended for boys too: [link]

All possible vaccines for everyone!
