   You are really full of shit. The top thing about "cost" refers to the   
   USA, and then you say it's "FREE". Our shots were "free", not part of   
   OHIP, part of an older "public health" mandate.

   You are really full of shit. The "paperwork" you fill out takes 2   
   minutes -- name, address, why you're in the advanced shot group   
   (checkbox), sign the bottom and you get your poke, after about a 15   
   minute wait. They don't question you; the nurse asks if you've got a   
   fever or are allergic to eggs. Doesn't even hurt, and I usually cry.
