Trying to not be a pig

I got the H1N1 vaccine today, compliments of my employer.  I still fall within the infant – 24-year-old range, so I’m legally accepted by the government to receive it.  Not really being one to do the whole flu vaccine thing on a yearly basis (did it once, don’t remember the outcome) I was hesitant to do it this time.  So what did I do?  Like any good kid from Gen-Y, I put it to my Facebook friends to help me decide.

Fortunately, my good pal Matt Siuba, medical pro extraordinaire, came to the rescue, in addition to others, with a resounding ‘yes’ to the Swine Flu vaccine.  His medical explanation beat out Nico’s ‘you won’t be able to have kids’ argument.  My arms is barely sore and I have yet to experience any flu-like symptoms.

Check back in with me as the flu season really kicks off.  We’ll see how it goes.

*Note on the title: Apparently in Southern Indiana, getting the swine flu is referred to as being a pig.  ’Looks like Josiah is a pig.’  Ha, love you kids.
