Once again the flu shots are being given out on Tinian. Terri and I were here last year (our very first visit to Tinian), when they had the entire island turn out to receive flu shots in the High School gym. Terri was involved in helping to organize and give shots to the local residents--even though she was simply here for a job interview!
Now, a year later, Terri is here again to help. This time they held it in the air-conditioned Elementary School cafeteria. There was not the same response as last year--just a few hundred turned out, instead of a few thousand (they are trickling in to the hospital to get their shots).
Terri and I got our shots, with no ill effects. Now we are ready for the birds...the bird-flu, you know?
