The nurse said it's the first time anybody's taken a photo of themself getting a flu shot.

Shouldn't it be you giving that older person a flu shot instead of you receiving it? I'm 35 and I can't remember the last time I've had a flu shot. Oh wait, you have two ribbons so I better not disagree. :P

The wonders of a social medical programme. If my wife gets the flu she has seizures induced by barfing and spends the next month on her back. We just found out my little five year old has the same thing. So wew try to avoid getting the flu.

Its very common for younger folks to get them due to other peoples health reasons. My wife and I get one every year to help protect our son from getting sick. He gets cold easy and due to his other health issues it turns into pnuemonia very easily.

I get one every year because I work in schools. If I miss days at school, I have to make up for the classes some other time (like at the end of term when there wouldn't normally be classes for me).

I just got mine on Tuesday (I'm 36). Then of course I've already had the flu this year (about two months ago). Here in the US they generally charge people to get the shots. I got mine for free through work.

I notice that arm doesn't have any "ribbon" tatoos. What are you waiting for?

Is that your hairy leg or the nurses? ;-)
