I confess, I don't get an annual flu shot. Because I know that whenever I get a vaccine, my dog develops autism.
But this year, Katr and I both have friends and colleagues who have come down HAAAAAAAAAAARD with the flu. Plus, last Christmas, Katr, Drtr and I were all sick as hell.
Like, we made a full turkey dinner with all the trimmings because the turkey was fresh and we had no room to freeze it, but it took us two entire days to make the meal because we kept having to lie down and cry. And then none of us could taste it. It was my Vietnam. So anyway, we're all getting the flu shot.
The last time Katr and I went to get flu shots, they were free and I just assumed that they were free for anyone with a BC Health card. But this is not so!
There are lots of ways that you can qualify for a free flu shot, but we got our free flu shots because we're fat! This is probably the first time being fat has saved us money.
Being 'Murican, Drtr doesn't have a health card, so I asked the pharmacist today at the Shoppers Drug Mart how much it would cost for Drtr to have the shot.
Pharmacist: "For him, the flu shot is $22! But it would be free for YOU, because...(oh shit oh shit...she's so fat but I can't say fat, don't say fat) you...(what do I SAY? why is she here again? medication! she's on medication! I'm filling her prescription right now! YESSSSSSSS) are on this medication! (WHEW)"
Oh, tiny pharmacist.
Anyway, so this is my public service announcement about flu shots. They're free if you're fat and if you're not, they're only $22 at Shoppers Drug Mart. PSA - COMPLETE.
