For my first two the nurse used a different syringe not the one that came with the vaccine because she said I had skinny little arms, however I had a different nurse for the last shot and she use the "auto-injector" that came with it - a weird needle thing that had a spring around it and well it hurt like hell. Mind you I did get a new MMR, tetanus, Guardassil and Hep B all in the same week ><, anyways maybe it was that spring thing that made it hurt more?

Actually, the first two I had done were with the pre-filled syringe with the spring! This last one was just a little vial that she unloaded into a regular old needle and it killed!! I could feel my muscle spasming...

Anywho, it's all done and my arm is a bit sore, but now it's not much different from last time.

And, something new I learned... the Dr. is required to record the lot# for public health purposes, so if US Immigration ever requests this (I wasn't asked, but it would be good proof) then all Dr. should have the lot#'s to give us.

Yes I was. I even called DOS because the tracking number was still not working yesterday.

They told "oh it was done on the 15th but I don't see if they shipped it yet"

Then last night at 930pm, the tracking worked saying it has been accepted by canada post.

And it was here this morning by 10am :)

My last day is in 2 weeks so I have to do it now. That might be the only thing i'm going to miss with my job ... the insurance coverage !!

I'm counting the days down!!
