It is just a little poke

Cuso is making us get vaccinated for a bunch of diseases that you are higher risk for than in Canada. They do this because they don’t want us to get sick when we are in Grenada. Vaccines are a good way to not get a disease because they are like an anti-virus that protects your body.

On Tuesday June 3^rd we got our needle for TwinRX. The needle did not hurt one bit, it felt like a mosquito bite. I thought it would not hurt at all- and it didn’t. If you are nervous don’t be it will be fine.

We got our needle at our family doctors office (hint: don’t look when they put the needle in).  We need 6 more + 1 coming back.

I will be happy when the needles are over because it’s not fun waiting in the waiting room. That is the worst part. In the nurse’s office ask if you can have a Band-Aid after you get the needle. Happily none of us were bleeding after it was over, so we didn't really need a Band-Aid. The nurses /doctors are very nice so you have nothing to be afraid of.

I hope this helps and you are no longer afraid of getting your needle just remember to bring a stuffy (if you think you need one). Don’t look. The worst part is waiting and remember none of us ended up bleeding.
