Mandatory Flu Mist

Being in the military, flu vaccination is mandatory for me. They highly prefer to give the mist rather than the shot whenever possible, I'm not sure why, maybe it's cheaper. Anyway, this is my sixth time getting the mist. The first four times I got sick from it. The fifth time I didn't. This last one was four hours ago and I'm not miserable, but I feel a little different and my temperature is up to 100, so it doesn't look good for tomorrow. I've had the shot three times and never got sick from it. This sucks.

When I've gotten sick from the mist, the onset was four to eight hours, followed by feeling really bad for about another twelve before rapidly feeling better. My plan for this bout is to go and get drunk enough to not notice I'm sick, then sleep in tomorrow, so that I should be through most of the worst of it by the time I get up.

Flu vaccination is often mandatory for healthcare workers and some others. Many people react to the vaccine much more badly than I do. Discus.
