No More Jabs, Temporarily

The picture below was taken on Monday morning just after Craig had calmed down from a long cry. He had been crying very hard because his cruel parents had taken him to the doctor for yet another vaccination.

In Taiwan, there seems to be at least half a dozen vaccinations for babies between 12 and 18 months old. Having just passed 18 month mark last week, Craig can now enjoy a six month break from being jabbed until he turns two. On this occasion, he cried a lot because he is now very familiar with the routine and he knows it is going to hurt well before the jab arrives. As soon as he realised that his pram was being steered towards the doctor's office he started crying and he didn't stop until he and his parents had walked out 20 minutes later. Hopefully, six months without needing a needle will allow him to forget how much he doesn't like visiting the doctor.
