I got a flu shot today.

For H1N1 in Wauksha at the Expo Center. There will be another clinic on Tuesday, Nov. 24th 1-6:30 p.m. And I guess every Tues and Thursday as long as they have supplies.

It's free---all you need to do is fill out a form with your information on it. They send you home with a little card identifying what you were given--what batch, etc.

I'd advise getting there as early in the day as you can and be prepared for a wait. Like if it starts at 1 p.m., get there at 12:45. There will already be a line, but not as long as later on. My husband got there at 12:15 and waited 45 min before they even opened. His total wait time was 1 hr. 25 minutes. I got there at 2:30 and my total time,(including waiting 15 min after the shot in case of any immediate reaction), was three hours! So get there earlier. They closed the gates well before the 6:30 p.m. closing time; they had enough people in line at some point to get them through 6:30, so they closed.

They are now taking anybody who wants to get a jab. You don't have to be in any special age group or health condition. It's a killed virus and safe for anyone.

I did this because I'm going to be visiting our small grandsons after traveling by air--don't want to pick anything up and get them sick.

1. I got mine Friday . . .

My arm has itched ever since then. I have never had that reaction to a flu shot before, I hope there isn't something bad about this one that is causing me to have a reaction.
