Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 In my location anyone with diabetes is considered " at risk " and allowed the flu shot. However, to be certain you are not violating some regional ordinance or guideline, you need to contact the health department in your area. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Sharon, I would think so, but guess it would depend on the doctor. I probably will not qualify since my bg's are so good and I don't get sick often. hugs Eunice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 My doctor said if you are over the age of 50 and have diabetes or uncontrolled diabetes you should get a flu shot but...where can we find them? Here in my area they are gone. sus -----Original Message----- From: shar2 do diabetics qualify to get the shots where there is severe shortages? sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 ***I have never been told or asked by a Doctor to get one which surprises me since I have been on Antibiotics and have a Chronic open wound. I was in the Hospital last month with a Staff and Blood infection. Biggest problem is I am 40, and look maybe 28, so maybe unless I had a Doctors note... no one would believe me when it comes to needing one unless they could see my leg.. and know I am also Diabetic. ~~TINA~~ Diabetes homepage: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/diabetes/ To unsubscribe to this group, send an email to: diabetes-unsubscribe Hope you come back soon!
