I got my injections for traveling today. I had to get four but it's ok, I'm not bothered by needles- I once pierced my own tongue with a safety pin minutes before giving a speech at my best friends 21st*. So when it came to this I was just like, 'Yeah, stick it in me!'
Immunizations are awesome- I love the idea that with one little injection, this river of sciencey magic is suddenly flowing through your veins as you go about your daily business; pretty much giving you the super power to be immune to these scary disease that used to decimate entire populations. Do you ever say to yourself, 'Gee, I'm glad I don't have smallpox?' No? Well, you should. And you should also send a thank you letter to the United Nations about that too.
I was a little concerned that all the different vaccines would merge into some kind of supervirus which would destroy humanity as we know it, but the nurse assured me it was not going to happen.
*My speech was awesome.
