Re: Re: H1N1 vaccine

[Guest guest]

Hi Bj,

 I know, we do have a shortage, and I just got my son's H1N1 yesterday am.( I'm

really concerned becasue it is all over this town, and my son has probably

already been exposed.)

I guess it takes 5-10 days to build up immunity with the shot.  I had to argue

to get him the shots.

 They are only giving them to the " high risk " group now. I cannot even get my

girls the seasonal flu shot and my daughter with OCD has asthma, but seeing she

doesn't take the inhaler every day they don't consider it severe asthma so she

couldn't get a shot. She is the one who ended up in the hospital with bacterial

pneumonia for a week !!!

Hugs

Judy

Judy, both your daughters are under 24. We were told here that anyone under the

age of 24 should be vaccinated.

Here is the recommendation from the CDC. . . .

************ ********* *****

2009 H1N1 Recommendations

Who will be recommended to receive the 2009 H1N1 vaccine?

CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that

certain groups of the population receive the 2009 H1N1 vaccine first. These

target groups include pregnant women, people who live with or care for children

younger than 6 months of age, healthcare and emergency medical services

personnel, persons between the ages of 6 months and 24 years old, and people

ages of 25 through 64 years of age who are at higher risk for 2009 H1N1 because

of chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems.

************ ********* *****

I wonder if they told you that because there is such a shortage.

BJ
