Winnie G Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 So what has the US government plane to do about this coming flu season? My husband and I went to a mock pandemic for our flu shot last year. We are told the some thing will happen this year over a three day period then again three weeks later for the 2nd shot. The Canadian government has said every man women and child will have the chance to get the regular flu shot as well as the H1N1 shots this year. Do you know what is happening in your aria?

john doe Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 The latest I heard was there will be either 2 or 3 shots this year depending on if they integrate one of the swine flu shots with the regular shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 The latest I heard was there will be either 2 or 3 shots this year depending on if they integrate one of the swine flu shots with the regular shot.That's if the pharmaceutical companies are able to manufacture both types of vaccine. Last I read (and admittedly it's been over a month), it was likely to be one or the other, because they would not be able to meet the demands of manufacturing both types of vaccines. There could be a shortage again this year, like there was six or seven years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmy- Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I won't be taking it. The symptoms were barely mild in healthy males and there were enough cases in my city for me to have a good chance of already having some immunity.

MorningStar Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Our pediatric clinic is doing an experimental shot for healthy children of a certain age. One family in our ward had it and only the parents got it. I'm not too worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnie G Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Just came home from the Doctors office, No not sick just refills. He was blunt and told us out of the blue that we had to get the shots this year not to miss it. that if it gets bad and you get sick even if you call a ambulance and if it comes they will just leave you because there would be no place to take you. he said he did not want to scare us but he is telling everyone the truth!

That, or you doctor is a dufus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
