All this talk of injections is making me cringe ;_;

The messenger is standing at the gate
Ready to let go
Ready for the crush
Too late for whispers
Too late for the blush
The past is mercy
When the future is aglow
Yeah, why? That's pretty weird. Or is that just how things work in the US?Originally Posted by Miriel
Anyway, I'm totally fine with needles and vaccinations. In fact, I need to get a lot of them during the next couple of weeks since I'm going to Asia in a couple of months.
You....have to get shots to go to college?
Hmm, I must be going to the wrong schools.
now safe beneath their wisdom, and their feet;
here i will teach you truly how, to sleep.
I'm sure I had my tetanus this year, or last, I can't remember. Wasn't it Tetanus and polio? I really don't know, I've had every injection that was given throughout primary and secondary though. It always annoys me how they count to 5 but go at 3 >=[
Getting immunizations to go to college. That's a good one Rye!!!
But, don't you think that joke is a little offending to sick people who easily pass on their diseases? I mean, it's not like they have control over being sick and it's quite mean to rub it in like that.
Tetanus and TB. xD Polio is normally given at birth, if they're still being given. It's not a reoccuring vaccine so you basically get poked once and your good.
I don't think they even give polio vaccines in the first world now. They've almost got it eradicated except for a few places in such as Africa, but they say it's making a comeback because they won't use the most effective medicines (more expensive and harder to use) to vaccinate people. There's a difference of like 19% efficiency though.
I read a bunch of stuff about polio the other day and it was so depressing and kinda scary really. My mom has a huge scar on her arm from when she got vaccinated when she was like 4 or 5.
Vacinations for university? Never heard of that.
Your college was completely batinsane. Seriously. What.
Usually they only do it if your imunizations are not up to date. TB and Tetanus are an every 10 year thing. They're usually more focused on the school level because they're really the easiest thing to catch and spread.
I'm starting to be sure that Meningitis is going to become a "norm" for school immunizations soon. I had to get a meningitis shot my senior year because one of the girls on the soccer team got it, so we all had to get shots.
Apparently it's becoming more common, basically what TB and Tetanus used to be before the required shots.
Vaccinations, even when they're not mandatory, are certainly a good idea. Especially for the likes of hepatitis and meningitis.
Sure, some injections are more uncomfortable than others. But it can help a lot to simply remain calm, relax your arm, and avoid looking at the injection when it's taking place. If you can actually see that piece of metal being stuck into your arm, that makes it a whole lot worse. I always just look away, accept that there'll be a temporary sensation of pain, and roll with it.
They still do in England. They do it by dropping this bad tasting thing into your mouth though.My mother had polio as a baby and yeah it really messed her up and she still feels the effects of it today. It's a very nasty disease.I read a bunch of stuff about polio the other day and it was so depressing and kinda scary really.I still have the scar on my arm from my tubercolosis vaccination from 6 years ago. It seems a lot of people my age do actually.My mom has a huge scar on her arm from when she got vaccinated when she was like 4 or 5.
High school! =OYour college was completely bat
Teachers gave us [seniors] the impression that our vaccinations were required for college admission (or just for the good of seniors who would go to college), but I don't know. I don't think that my university requires any vaccinations now, but that may not have been the case three years ago; I can't remember. I only remember that I had to provide proof of my vaccinations to be eligible for graduation in high school.
I didn't get my third hepatitis B shot. By the time I was scheduled to get it, my phobia of syringes had developed. XP
I've usually gotten my injections in either the butt or in the neck, so that makes it kind of hard to look at it while it's happening, which helps I guess
is yours the size of a dime or a 1 euro coin? if so, that's crazy!:OThey still do in England.

also the relatively ineffective polio vaccine I was talking about is pill one.
