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).
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
All possible vaccines for everyone!

Hokay, another thing to put on the "adulting" list.

Same here. Just got her first dose last week.
