Too tired to edit photos…

A short update..

From this page at Raffles Medical Group website,

Current influenza vaccination does not confer any protection against the Influenza A (H1N1) virus.

However vaccination is still necessary because if you come down with flu like symptoms after vaccination, then there is higher alert as to whether you may have contracted Influenza A (H1N1) or avian flu. Early treatment can then be initiated.
…………

………..
You may get mild soreness or fever after 1-2 days from the vaccination.

I am going to travel to Hong Kong and mainland China soon. I went to the Raffles Medical Clinic at Block 131 Jurong East Street 13 #01-267 today but the flu vaccines were out of stock. I should have phoned first. Argh. I’ll be calling the other Raffles Medical Clinics tomorrow.

  I know. My mum said that she won’t be happy if I travel when I didn’t do the flu shot.
