It's jab time!

I have been very afraid of needles and I have been delaying in getting my vaccinations. Mummy's attempts to bring me to the doctor to get me vaccinated were quite futile. After much persuasion from daddy I managed to give him a little nod to get myself a baby jab but on the day of the jab, I got sick and had to postpone my jab. Then Reanne went ahead with her scheduled vaccination and I was watching the whole process and this got me so frightened that I swore off jabs in future. Reanne was crying and I guess it must be really painful. So you guess right, it's another long n arduous journey in persuading me to go to the doc for my much overdue pneumomcoccal jab. Most of the children would have gotten their pneumococcal jab around the time they get into child care centers at 18months or 24 months. This time Reanne was due to go for her vaccination and again mummy tried to convince me. This time, she told me I need to take my jab as we will be flying to Thailand for holidays in August. With the jab, both mei mei and me will be very healthy and strong when we take the aeroplane. It's sounds pretty reasonable to me and I decided to go for it. At the clinic I was getting a bit uneasy. It didn't help at all when I hear a lot of kids crying in the clinic. I don't know why they are crying but it definitely didnt make me comfortable at all. I remained calm and when I got into the doc's room, I am very quiet. Dr Foo talked to me and tried to make me comfortable. I decided to take the jab before mei mei so I can show her what a brave girl I aam. Daddy and a nurse held me down on the doctor's table and very quickly the jab was administered. I didn't cry at all and it isn't painful. That's what I told daddy and mummy. They were both very proud of me.
