H1N1 Vaccine

Just had the H1N1 vaaccine jab this afternoon at the District Health Centre in Sg Dua, Butterworth.....this is the only Pusat Kesihatan that offers free vaccination to members of the public.  I was lucky that there wasn't any crowd and I don't even have to queue and while getting VIP treatment from the nurses.   

It was a painless procedure, a slight pinch of ant bite.  I was given some painkiller @ paracetamol as a precaution.  BTW, this vaccine isn't suitable for those with allergy to egg and antibiotic. 

I felt some heaviness on my right arm now.  Perhaps this is the after effect.  I hope I don't get any fever or rashes..."Touch Wood".    

A lil info ab the vaccine.  It has a small tolerable amount of the actual virus in it. It is just enough for the body to recognize the invader bacteria and build up the antibodies for it.  I shall put my mind at ease and just be watchful of any symptoms out of normal.  Obviously, I'm worry a lil of contracting the side effects.
