I took the swine flu vaccine today

Now that the authorities have opened up for everyone I chose to take the vaccine today. Until now only people in the risk groups were allowed to take it. I went to a nearby vaccine station and were positively surprised by how well it was organized.

To be honest I pictured the opposite because the whole vaccine project has been poorly run, in my opinion. The authorities should allow everyone to take it much earlier, they have the resources. But something weird happened with the delivery of the vaccine, I think the producer struggled a bit to deliver.

Next week I’m going to be in the help group at a vaccine station, Red Cross called me tonight and asked for help. I didn’t have the heart declining because they struggled to cover the shifts.

The authorities in Norway struggle now to get more people to take the vaccine, I think it is because of the authorities’ lack of information – it came too late. People are skeptic because so many people without professional background have written about the vaccine, they have kind of taken advantage of the missing information.
