Thanks to the nurse for your reply. I highly recommend the shot if you already haven't gotten this illness. I'm relieved we were given a chance to get it. Our whole household got one and we all did great. Just take some ibuprofen b4 you go. Lol.......

I think it takes about 7-10 days to build immunity. The vaccines were distributed to local health departments from the CDC. Some health departments might charge a administration fee for the nurse to give it.

We had our shots this weekend and did quite well. No side effects at all. Does anyone know how long the shot takes to build in the system?/Does anyone know why the shot was free of cost??/
