I had the H1N1 vaccine today. It was of no cost to me, due to my profession. It was not mandatory, but I felt it was a good idea. It's a nasal spray vaccine & my head is a little stuffy now with a slight headache, not a big deal.
The federal gov't paid our local health dept to take care of this for licensed health care professionals. If we get sick, there will be no one to take care of others that are sick.
