The Last One - The 1st Jab

We are vaccine friendly parents; Lil Shauna took her 1st jab earlier than I did and had her booster jab lined up. I was hesitant for Zaky initially but so many other kids had taken the jab; I was assured me that things would be fine. Then it was about waiting for the 良辰吉日. He was taking his aggro skate lessons and I wanted to clear that 1st. 

It dragged a little too long until Zaky asked me when is his turn. He said that he is one of the last few in his class who have not been jabbed. We finally booked him for Valentine's Day. So lomantic, 手牵手 with Daddy Lim somemore. 

We opted for the nearest vaccination center, which is 5 mins drive away. His appointment was at 7pm and there wasn't much of a crowd. 

The children vaccination area is nicely done up. We have a kid, who is bigger than some small adult. Haha. 

It was soon his turn and he took the jab very bravely. In exchange, he took for himself 3 sweets. Kids get all the perks. A big TV was set up in the observation area and he enjoyed the cartoon screened. He was so well entertained that the 30 mins passed very quickly. 

Any headache? Anywhere feeling unwell? Any pain? Yay, all good and good to go. Bcos Zaky had his jab in the late evening, there wasn't time for the side effects to set in (I think lah). Zaky self declared that he would skip school if he didn't feel well the next morning. Win already. 

Did he go to school the next morning? Of course not lah. I woke him up and he said that fatigue has set in and he was tired. I didn't force him to go to school bcos I didn't want to receive a call from school to go pick him up later. I was supposed to go to office somemore. 

I heard that he had a good time resting away the fatigue at home. He said that he was at least responsible enough to find out the homework and did the work that I assigned him. 

One jab down and one more to go. One step nearer to a family overseas holidays when psle is over and when the covid gets a little more tamed. Yay!
