I got the reminder from my clinic for the second round of Hep A vaccine, to make it stick for longer. I got so, so sick after getting vaccines last April that it makes me very reluctant. I can't afford to be sick in grad school, and I really wonder about the preservatives they stick in the vaccine. If the medical establishment really believes in the principle of protection through minor exposure, they should be encouraging us to stop with the overly sterilized environments, to eat unwashed produce--basically undo everything except for washing hands (with water) after bathroom or being with sick people. I don't know what to think but am suspicious for sure.
