Vaccine :)

Just had my annual dose (only started taking them last year haha) of influenza vaccine today :)

It's nice of the healthboard to be giving out flu vaccines every year (which of course saves them money) :)

Anyhoots...

Received an intradermal vaccine today (it's usually given intramuscularly) which apparently saves them quite a bit of vaccine (a small trial done in the US for 100 people noticed a similar antibody response with only 20% of the dosage)...

I think it causes a little less pain (kind of makes sense since the needle would be shorter), but it does cause a little more irritation in the skin (since the skin is probably more sensitive to inflammatory reactions compared to the muscle), but so far so good I must say :)

I guess only time will tell if the vaccine delivered through the skin is as good as through the muscle...

In other news... lol

Been doing O&G for a week now, last week was a pretty relaxed week for me, this week is a tad more hectic...

Not looking forward to the weekends though, have a whole weekend 7am-7pm shift(s) in the delivery suite :)

While I anticipate it to be a great learning experience, I do think it will get VERY messy... my shoes condemn lah like that lol

Oh well, can't get something for nothing eh?

And... while I was never a big fan of babies... babies are just friggin' cute lol Can't deny it =.="

Mmm... kind of wish I had a car lol Getting around is a pain without one... but I shall persevere... and depend a lot on those with cars and are willing to wake up early (aka Kelvin LOL)

Mmm... yup.. that's about it I guess? Just waiting to burn some time before I go meet up with the neonatal registrars to get something signed off :)

Take care everyone :)
