The H1N1 immune injection is available to the school kids since mid of November , I had my jab earlier this months – darn painful one, my arm sore for about 3 days. My heart sunk when I saw the milky fluid in the syringe. Must be a painful one, I grumbled as the needle penetrated my skin…But the govt provided the medical personnel with the Novartis product instead of the local made GG biomedical co….
Rumors had said due to the lack of the egg, the factory had utilized ordinary egg instead of customized egg for immunization injection production.
However as all the school children are scheduled for the injection. Each hospital was “allocated”(force should be the appropriate word)
A few schools for the injection. I was part of the injection team …
For the past 2 weeks, I had gone participated in 4 session and seen over 1300 students(primary and secondary school). The hospital was paid RM5 per student…The money did not slip into my pocket…I had observed a few interesting point during the needle pricking session..
1. The student got the pain in the arm and I got pain in the ear – I had to put my stet on and off 300+ times each session…almost otitis externa…
2. No student appreciate you service… only less than two hand full of the students say thank you to me.. I think those kids saw as “BULLY”…
3. Kids gave every excuse just to escape the injection. The worst lies came from secondary school student – they often give you some story that was so inconsistent ( “I saw the doctor 1 wks + ago for flu and I am currently still eating his medication ::: taking my ass -> clinic usually give 3 days medication…)
4. The kampong boy are braver …
Another few thousand awaiting me….
