Did you get the swine flu vaccine?

Yes, I did. Since I am a dentist practicing in NYC, I thought I should. I tried to get it from my physician, but his office had none, but his nurse suggested I can the New York City Department of Health. I called them and they directed me to a New York City Department of Health Clinic and I was given the vaccine free of charge at the clinic. The Department of Health can be reached by telephone and they also maintain an excellent website chockful of information at http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/home/home.shtml

They have a page on the site that is particularly helpful if you want to find a local clinic where you can get a flu vaccine, either seasonal or H1N1. You can visit it at http://a816-healthpsi.nyc.gov/DispensingSiteLocator/mainView.do

I received the vaccine 24 hours ago and have suffered no ill effects. Aside from having to wait a couple of hours to get inoculated, it was a pleasant experience and would recommend it to anyone seeking the vaccine.
