A pleasant surprise

Took the kiddos in for their flu vaccinations.

Found out that they were using the flumist vaccine - nasal spray syringe, not a needle. Apparently this had been an age 5-49 thing, but was reformulated and can now be used for 2-49. So the kiddos avoided being jabbed - yay!

Though Calla still ran when she saw the bandaids and syringes. And still cried while we were holding her still for the nasal spray. She just does not like to be messed with.

But! When it was over, she calmed right back down (muuuuch faster than if it had been a needle).

So, now the kiddos and I have our flu vaccines. Hopefully they'll have guessed correctly on the strains to vaccinate against!
