Brinlee brought home a note from school the other day that said she wasn't up to speed on her vaccinations and that we needed to get her in for some shots. I was pretty confused. We've never skipped or missed any doses with her, but when I called the school nurse she said there was indeed a problem. Want to know what the problem was?
The school district is really strict about the amount of time that passes between each round of multi-dose vaccines, and according to the district standards, her second dose of Hepatitis B from back when she was 6 months old was given to her a whopping 3 days early... and they wouldn't count it.
We probably could have put up a stink about it, but we decided to bribe Brinlee with candy and just go in and get it taken care of instead. A few months ago when we had been in with her I had promised her that she wouldn't need any more shots for a long time. Little did I know.
I felt really bad. But she was actually a really good sport about it, bless her heart. Here she was right before the shot (that's supposed to be a thumbs up... we'll work on that later).
I didn't take pictures of her after the shots, they wouldn't have been nearly as happy looking.
But the lollypop did help!
And now she's all approved and good to go.
...sheesh...
