I got mine last week; it was all but painless.  A lady I work with is one of those hardcore non-flu shot people.  She has the flu.  Go figure.

I don't have to get mine until next May/June, I'm skipping through my spring flowers at the moment with summer not far away... ;)..but all you guys who don't live "Down Under" get your Flu Jab's and keep yourselves safe.

I just scheduled mine today for next month, along with the second hep A shot and a review of my lastest labwork.  I really need to see that white blood cell count improve.   :-\
