Flu shots
Yesterday, my employer offered flu shots on campus. They were free for employees and $10 for dependents, so we brought the whole family. When we got to the large, crowded room, though, they had one line for employees and another for dependents. My younger kids were already nervous about getting a shot, so it was poor planning to make me stand in a different line on the other side of the room for 20 minutes while my wife tried to corral and reassure them. Especially when my four-year-old got poked and started crying loudly and I couldn't do anything about it because I was still in line.

Was it the H1N1 vaccine? The garden variety flu shot frequently is for a strain that doesn't verify in the population, but this is one case where I hope as many people as possible get the vaccination.
Just the normal strains, unfortunately, but it might moderate the H1N1 a bit. That one isn't available yet. People tend catch diseases on long flights, though, so you may want to get it done. Also, I hope you're getting Yellow Fever and Typhoid vaccines. You may need to show proof of YF.
