H1N1

Yesterday I got my A-H1N1 flue shot.
I first called my LaSalle CLSC to find out where I could receive my inoculation and if I qualified for front line receipt. I was told I could go to the LaSalle General Hospital (room 123) and indeed as a health care worker (I’m a floor clerk at a pharmacy, go figure)

I went to the hospital and parked at the hockey arena (too cheap to pay parking at the hospital)
As I walked to the doors of the LGH I prepared my mind to wait hours to get my shot.
I was informed that the clinic was in the basement next to the cafeteria. I took the elevator down one floor and followed the signs to the room. At the entrance I was asked my a security guard for my medi-care card and proof I was a health care worker ( I had brought a pay slip to prove the same)

I held my breath approaching the room to await a huge line-up. There was NONE I was received immediately and my credentials recorded.

I got the shot and was informed I had to wait fifteen minutes prior to departure, for which they had space in the cafeteria area.

Total time from entering to exiting the hospital, thirty-five minutes,including the fifteen minute waiting period, not the hours and hours seen in the media.

Then I went to Moores to spend my fifty dollar gift certificate. Got gas, and spent some at the SAQ
