ready for those parents, who don't like the rules. when a bunch of families are sitting down... waiting for their shots... we're not sure who looked more worried. the kids... or the parents. pamela/ oh yes. i think he will cry. he usually cries for his shots. adelina/ i got three. it wasn't -- it really wasn't as bad as i thought. adelina hicks said it had been a while since he got her last vaccines. she couldn't even remember how it felt... so of course, she expected the worst. someone's like has their hand and it's like squeezing it for 5 seconds and ahhh i thought it would hurt really bad. it was just like slight bubble in my skin maybe and then it popped and then it was okay. and then it felt like my brother or sister was pinching me. it's just a pinch... but the people in charge say it's an important one... that unfortunately some parents try to get their kids out of. this mom says -- she's not one of those parents. pamela/ well that's
